Overview

• Marcello Victor Carvalho de Araujo, 24, was killed by two shots inside his home during Operation Eclesiastes on October 8 in Belem's Jurunas neighborhood.
• Police say he struck an agent and tried to seize a firearm before officers fired; the family disputes that version and contends he was mistaken for the actual target.
• The Federal Prosecutor's Office opened a criminal investigative procedure and requested information from the Federal Police, the Criminalistics Institute, and the IML.
• PF leadership says an internal inquiry is collecting forensic evidence, including ballistic tests on seized weapons, and that involved agents were temporarily pulled from field operations.
• The operation arrested Marcelo Pantoja Rabelo, known as 'Marcelo da Sucata', whom PF links to a death squad and a drug and money-laundering scheme alleged to have moved over R$1 billion, as security footage showed heavily armed officers entering the building.
