In March of this year, his sentence was again reduced. This time, more than 100 days have passed since the work was carried out at Tremembe II Prison on the São Paulo coast.
He studied entrepreneurship at Tremembe and was seeking a reduced sentence because he had taken the course. In total, the Court of Justice of São Paulo (TJSP) saved two days of study and 107 days of work.
In addition to detailing Lindenberg’s crimes, “The Eloa Case: Hostage Live” presents previously unpublished testimony from the teen’s family and friends who still live with the pain of the loss of Eloa’s childhood. This title is available on Netflix.
