Overview

• São Paulo’s DHPP executed nine search warrants in Santos, Praia Grande, and São Vicente, collecting phones, computers, documents, and other materials.
• One target was Praia Grande subsecretary Sandro Rogério Pardini; police seized about R$50,000, US$10,000, and €1,100, and he denied involvement while testifying as a witness and providing passwords.
• Authorities say details of the new seizures are being kept confidential to protect the investigation into the execution of Fontes, who was ambushed after leaving work at the Praia Grande administration.
• Forensic evidence, including DNA and fingerprints, links multiple named suspects to vehicles used in the attack and to a Mongaguá safe house, with several suspects still at large.
• Investigators continue to search for the rifles used in the killing, and they are probing whether irregularities tied to municipal contracts may be relevant to motive.
