Investigators assess that the three prisoners suspected of Marielle’s death should not collaborate with the investigation | Rio de Janeiro

The brothers Domingos Brazão It is Chiquinho Brazãosuspected of ordering the murder of councilwoman Marielle Franco, and the police chief Rivaldo Barbosasuspected of planning the crime, arrested this Sunday (24), should not collaborate with the investigations, in the opinion of those who are closely following the case.

However, a possible collaboration may depend on how each person will feel about isolation in the federal prison where they were taken. The three deny the accusations against them.

The arrested suspects must be interviewed after Easter by the task force of federal police officers and members of the Attorney General’s Office (PGR).

Marielle case: see questions and answers after the arrest of the alleged perpetrators

The task force of investigators does not suspect anyone else in connection with the planning and ordering of Marielle’s murder. For those mainly involved in the investigations, the investigation reached who it should reach.

Based on the seizures in this Sunday’s operation, new steps will be taken to finalize the investigation. There are still some questions to advance regarding the motivations for the crime. And loose ends must be tied up, according to those who closely follow the case.

The investigation leads us to believe that real estate speculation and civil construction in areas dominated by the militia in Rio may be the reasons why Marielle’s murder was ordered.

There are at least six annexes to the main investigation into the Marielle case referring to other murders and other crimes in which Ronnie Lessa takes part during the plea bargain negotiations. These are cases that involve hiring him to eliminate rivals between bicheiros and militia members, fighting over the territory of the animal and the militia.

These annexes are still confidential and will be used to open new investigations in Rio or to feed ongoing criminal proceedings and investigations that have remained unfinished due to sabotage of evidence.

These cases will not be part of the complaint that will be presented by the PGR against the three accused of ordering and planning the crime.

Investigations will also be opened to delve deeper into the suspicions gathered during the investigation into the Marielle case regarding the allocation of Rio’s civil police and the payment of allowances to Rivaldo Barbosa to shelve or suppress murder investigations.

There are serious cases of missing evidence, missing pieces of investigations, and investigations not carried out or erased from police investigations.

The task force will delve into the promiscuity between politics and police in Rio.
