MC Poze Says Fame Drove Swift Return of Stolen Armored SUV in Brief Rio CPI Appearance

Overview

• The singer appeared for 28 minutes at Alerj’s CPI, presented a habeas corpus signed by judge Kátia Maria Amaral Jangutta, answered one question, then exercised his right to remain silent.
• He argued his Land Rover Defender was abandoned by thieves due to his high profile and social‑media reach, saying the vehicle’s distinctive customization made it too conspicuous to keep.
• Lawmakers noted the September 19 theft and rapid recovery as atypical because the SUV was found within hours with a full tank and no ransom payment reported.
• CPI president Alexandre Knoploch maintained past criticism of the artist, saying his lyrics promote criminality, while MC Poze rejected the label and repudiated threats made by fans to deputies.
• The panel, created in August, is probing vehicle monitoring and protection services for ties to criminal groups, having already sanctioned industry figures and interviewed inmates in Gericinó as part of the investigation.
