Overview
- São Paulo police detained a second suspect nicknamed Fofão on Friday for allegedly handling logistics in the ambush that killed ex-delegado-geral Ruy Ferraz Fontes, after the earlier arrest of Dahesly Oliveira Pires, accused of transporting a rifle.
- Three men remain fugitives under temporary arrest warrants in the São Paulo case, with DNA linking Felipe “Mascherano” Avelino da Silva and Flávio Henrique Ferreira de Souza to a car used in the attack, and Luiz Antonio Rodrigues de Miranda suspected of ordering the rifle pickup.
- Investigators searched a Praia Grande house identified by Dahesly as a weapons pickup point, reporting 41 genetic traces and fingerprints, including those of a military police officer and his brother, who are being questioned about the property’s rental.
- Authorities note possible PCC involvement based on suspect ties, though the motive is still under examination, with lines of inquiry ranging from retaliation for anti-faction operations to disputes tied to Fontes’s municipal role.
- In Paraná, police recovered the four missing men’s bodies near Icaraíma with apparent gunshot wounds after finding their buried pickup last week, and are seeking rural producer Antônio Buscariollo and his son Paulo, while saying the concealment likely required additional participants.
