The trial of influencer Iuri Sheik began this Tuesday (20) in Santo Antônio de Jesus. He faces charges of murdering his former business partner, William Oliveira, back in 2019. This case draws attention as it involves a well-known personality and a crime that shook the region during the São João festivities.
A Busca por Justiça da Família
The family of William Oliveira seeks justice in this trial. Their lawyer, Vivaldo Amaral, presented the case, arguing for the harshest possible sentence. He emphasized the pain and loss felt by those who knew William.
According to Amaral, the attack was incredibly violent. He described how William was first shot, fell to his knees, and then was shot again from behind. The lawyer called it a “brutalidade tamanha” and a case unlike any seen before in the city.
What does the family hope for from the jury? Amaral stated their goal is clear: maximum conviction. He confirmed they would formally request a 30-year prison sentence, though he acknowledged the final decision rests with the court.
A Versão do Influenciador
Iuri Sheik also spoke during the proceedings, offering his account of what happened. He directly addressed the accusation of shooting William in the back. What did he say about that moment?
Sheik denied intentionally shooting from behind. He testified that after the first shot, William turned, and he believes the second shot hit him as he was turning. He recounted fleeing the scene immediately afterward.
