Brazil Probes Fan-Group Killing as Police Log Mass Arrests After Violent Weekend

The crackdown now includes a two-year stadium suspension for Torcida Jovem do Flamengo.

Overview

  • Investigators of the Oswaldo Cruz ambush that killed Vasco supporter Rodrigo Santana report eight arrests, including the Torcida Jovem do Flamengo president and an alleged shooter, while two suspects — Everton “Porrozinho” da Silva and Lucas “LC” de Jesus — remain fugitives under a Disque Denúncia appeal.
  • A Rio court ordered Torcida Jovem do Flamengo barred from all sporting events for two years, citing the risk of repeat violence and recent disturbances documented by stadium police.
  • Ceará authorities tallied four weekend shootings that left six dead and 12 injured, as security forces reported at least 261 arrests during saturation operations targeting violent crimes.
  • In Salvador, residents accused police of killing a 26-year-old autistic man during a confrontation, whereas the Civil Police said the victim was found already wounded in a clash between rival factions.
  • Separate investigations reported new killings and arrests across multiple states, including the execution of a PM in Rio, two women shot dead in Manaus, a feminicide case with preventive detention in Londrina, and additional captures tied to cases in Sobral and Castanhal.
