The Military Police's Internal Affairs has uncovered troubling messages from Lieutenant Colonel Geraldo Neto to his late wife,Gisele Alves Santana, who was fatally shot in their apartment in São Paulo. The text exchanges reveal a pattern of emotional and verbal abuse where Gisele was frequently humiliated and belittled by her husband, who would mock her both at home and in her workplace. These revelations have come to light following Neto's arrest on charges of feminicide and procedural fraud.

The messages illustrate a disturbing dynamic in their relationship, with Gisele expressing her distress over Neto's 'childish' and 'unprincipled' behavior. She described how his treatment often involved humiliation, leaving her to feel cornered despite her attempts to maintain the relationship. One particular message demonstrated her frustration, as she pleaded for her husband to change his abusive attitude, emphasizing the inconsistency between his requests for her to stay and his continued harmful behaviors.

Neto's arrest by the Military Justice follows his wife's tragic death, which has drawn public attention to issues of domestic violence within Brazil's police force. The incident raises critical questions about the handling of such cases within law enforcement and highlights the urgent need for reforms to support victims of domestic abuse, particularly those within the police system. It also exemplifies the challenging environments women face in both their personal and professional lives when they are subjected to such violence.
