SÃO PAULO, SP (FOLHAPRESS)
The driver of the Porsche involved in an accident in the east zone of São Paulo in the early hours of Sunday (31) is a partner of relatives in a real estate management company that has 19 addresses in the capital of São Paulo.
Fernando Sastre de Andrade Filho, 25, appears as a minority partner in Sastre Empreendimento Imobiliário alongside his father, uncle and a cousin. The company, with declared capital of R$430 thousand, is mainly engaged in the purchase, sale and rental of its own properties, construction of buildings and subdivisions.
The family, which operates in the construction material business, owns another 42 properties in the capital, in the interior and on the south coast of São Paulo. The Porsche driver also has an administrative services company valued at R$100,000.
The report contacted the driver's father, businessman Fernando Sastre de Andrade, and the defense lawyer by phone and email, but none of them responded until the publication of this text.
The luxury car involved in the accident is registered as the property of one of the family's companies, which is listed as the owner of other high-end vehicles, such as a Volkswagen T-Cross Highline, a Volkswagen Nivus Highline and a BMW motorcycle.
The young man was driving a Porsche valued at R$1 million when it crashed into the back of another vehicle and caused the death of app driver Ornaldo da Silva Viana, 52, in the early hours of Sunday (30), on Avenida Salim Farah Maluf.
In a statement to the Civil Police, he denied having drunk alcohol or being under the influence of drugs, and stated that he did not remember the speed at which the vehicle was traveling at the time of the accident. Filho said he went to a poker club in Tatuapé around 11pm, and stayed there until 2am.
The accused presented himself to the police this Monday (1st), more than 24 hours after the accident, to give a statement. According to his lawyers, Filho was in a state of shock and there was fear of lynching, as “at that moment he began to suffer virtual lynching” and that is why the decision was made to “protect him”.

“During the presentation of the incident, it was found that the possible perpetrator was the driver of the Porsche. The PMs carried out investigations at the hospital where the driver signaled that he would be treated and at his home, but he was not found.
