In Alagoas, a court has ordered a mental health evaluation for civil police officer Gildate Goes Moraes Sobrinho. He is accused of killing two colleagues, Denivaldo Jardel Lira Moraes and Yago Gomes Pereira, inside a police vehicle in Delmiro Gouveia. The examination by the Judicial Psychiatric Center seeks to determine if the accused could understand the illicit nature of his actions or control his behavior during the incident.

In a broader institutional development in Bahia, the Public Prosecutor’s Office (MPBA) and the Ministry of Justice and Public Security (MJSP) signed a Technical Cooperation Agreement to address mental health among public security professionals. Part of the ‘Yellow September’ campaign, the partnership focuses on preventing psychological illness and suicide among police officers and prosecutors through specialized psychological support and training.
