Overview

• Edmilson Marques de Oliveira, known as Cria or Di Ferro, was killed during a Civil Police operation in the Complexo da Maré on Friday.
• State secretary Felipe Curi described him as a violent “narcoterrorist” and the TCP’s “man of war” who planned invasions and supplied weapons.
• Investigators report he had more than 200 criminal annotations and three arrest warrants, and he ran a trafficking “tribunal” that ordered executions.
• The raid followed intelligence that TCP members were preparing to try to retake Morro dos Macacos, with police monitoring his movements for about two months.
• Intense gunfire disrupted services as a stretch of the Linha Amarela was closed, a primary health unit halted care, and a municipal school sheltered students and staff.
