Felipe Anderson’s father, from Palmeiras, sentenced to prison in Brasília | OneFootball

Sebastião Tomé Gomes, father of attacking midfielder Felipe Anderson, of Palmeiras, was sentenced this Thursday to 14 years in prison in a closed regime. The trial took place at the Santa Maria Jury Court, in the Federal District, which found him guilty of the death of two people by running them over.

The accident in 2015

The accident occurred on January 12, 2015, after an argument between Sebastião and Bruno Santos da Silva, over Salmeriza Alves Pugas. With a car, Felipe Anderson's father allegedly chased the man, who was on a bicycle, and ran him over.

In the aftermath of the tragedy, the prosecution argued that Sebastião lost control of the car and entered a residence, causing the death of Noeme Caldeira Gomes.

Defense and allegations

On Sebastião's part, the defense argued that it was an accident, as the defendant did not have, at any moment, the intention to kill the victims.

Case history

In 2023, Sebastião had already been convicted for this case, but the defense managed to annul the trial. Felipe Anderson's father was imprisoned for 4 days, but managed to await the process in freedom. Now, the justice has determined immediate compliance with the sentence.
