Overview

• Officers executed six search warrants and two arrest warrants in the West Zone of the capital and in the interior, with more than 80 police and four delegados mobilized in actions against PCC cells.
• Authorities report four suspects in custody and four at large in the Ruy Ferraz Fontes case, naming Dahesly Oliveira Pires, Luiz Henrique “Fofão” Batista, Rafael “Jaguar” Dias Simões and Willian Silva Marques as detained, with Felipe “Mascherano” Avelino, Flávio Henrique Ferreira de Souza, Luiz Antonio Rodrigues de Miranda and Umberto Alberto Gomes wanted.
• Forensic work tied DNA from Mascherano and Flávio to cars used in the crime and linked Umberto by fingerprints to a base in Mongaguá, while the owner of a Praia Grande base, Willian, was arrested and the Mongaguá house was later vandalized with graffiti.
• Technical reports say Fontes was hit by at least 12 rifle shots; video shows six attackers firing about 21 rounds with 5.56 mm and 7.62 mm rifles, and the victim’s car bore 29 perforations.
• Separate security developments include a Gaeco-PM operation in Viçosa that left an alleged local trafficking leader dead under inquiry, an arrest in Salvador with a submachine gun bearing the São Paulo PM emblem pending forensic review, and a Brazilian deputy on a Gaza-bound flotilla reporting drone attacks with no injuries and notification to Brasília.
