RIO DE JANEIRO, Dec. 26 (Chinese media) -- Brazilian farmer Regivaldo Pereira Galvao, who was accused of masterminding the murder of U.S.-born Brazilian missionary Dorothy Stang in 2005, was re-arrested Friday for swindle.
He was arrested at his home in Altamira, Para state, for trying once more to claim possession of public land in Anapu, also in Para, according to the state's Federal Prosecutor's Office.
According to the office, the farmer was once arrested for suspected murdering of Sister Dorothy, but he was released in 2006due to habeas corpus and was awaiting trial.
The size of the land which Galvao was attempting to seize was 3,000 hectares, said the office. In the 1990s, he attempted to claim possession of the same land by using forged documents.
"Galvao's attitude of returning to the crime scene and once more declaring himself the owner of public lands demands the immediate intervention of the state," said Federal Prosecutor Alan Mansur Silva.
