Clarinha Glock, RRU-Brazil
On February 7, 2010 Angelo Ferreira da Silva, sentenced to 15 years in prison for the brutal murder of TV Globo reporter Tim Lopes in 2002, went out of the main door of the prison located in Bangu, Rio de Janeiro state, and never returned. He had received the benefit of sentence reduction in May 2009, going from having to remain behind bars to being able to come and go in what is known as the semi-open system. His escape, however, was only communicated to the Criminal Court on March 3 and then on May 21 of this year new imprisonment order was issued.
