King Koyeba to remain in police custody

-

The examining judge recently decided to extend the detention of King Koyeba with 30 days. Koyeba’s defense attorneys, Lygia Palmburg and Raoul Lobo, on Monday confirmed the reports. The defense will reportedly take other legal action. Palmburg explained that there are still other legal options for her client.

The film brought back Tom Cruise as Reacher, an exmilitary investigat­or with a penchant for ass-kicking.
