The deal would not have him serve any jail or prison time, as in many of the deals already worked out in the case.

Freitas retired after his arrest. At the time, he was the vice president of the FOP.

There was no significant development in the case against Nelson Cuba, who was FOP president at the time of his arrest last year.
