Praia Grande Subsecretary Resigns as Police Probe City Staff in Ruy Ferraz Killing
Police now focus on evidence from municipal contract reviews, with PCC participation declared evident yet the motive still under evaluation.
Overview
- The city published Sandro Rogério Pardini’s requested resignation in the Diário Oficial, and his lawyers say he will cooperate and denies any involvement.
- DHPP teams executed nine search warrants on September 29 in Santos, Praia Grande and São Vicente targeting five municipal employees in different departments.
- At Pardini’s address, investigators seized three pistols, electronics, 19 bank cards, firearm records including a CAC registration, and cash totaling about R$ 50,000, US$ 10,300 and € 1,135.
- Authorities are collecting materials tied to possible irregularities in city contracts as they pursue a parallel line that attributes participation in the execution to the PCC.
- The case remains active with four suspects under arrest, three fugitives identified through forensics linking DNA to vehicles and a safehouse, and one alleged shooter killed in Paraná.
