Marielle Franco’s murder was a public-private partnership between the Brazilian state and the Rio de Janeiro mafias | Octavio Guedes’ blog

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

The four bullets that hit Marielle, three in the head and one in the neck, and the other three projectiles that found driver Anderson Gomes’ back were diverted from a batch purchased by the Brazilian government for the Federal Police (PF).

The person who pressed the trigger that spit out the seven 9mm caliber ammunition from the Brazilian government’s batch “CBC nº UZZ18” was a former public servant. Former PM Ronie Lessa learned everything about how to shoot in Rio’s Military Police and also in the Civil Police, where he served as an “attaché”, a type of ambassador.

Bullets and preparation for shooting subsidized with public money.

Even with Marielle already buried, the public-private partnership continued. It was at the Federal Police headquarters, the same one where the ammunition was diverted, that three delegates from the corporation met to listen to a fourth public servant: military police officer Rodrigo Jorge Ferreira.

Almost a convention of public servants who, according to the PF investigation, had a single interest: protecting a fifth public servant: the counselor of the Court of Auditors of the State of Rio de Janeiro, Domingos Brazão.

And why did the PF come to the conclusion that Domingos Brazão was in on the plot? Because there was a sixth public servant at the scene, a retired federal police officer who worked with Brazão at the State Audit Court.

So as not to lose count. There was a former police officer at the crime scene and six public servants accused of obstructing justice. Seven, therefore.

But how would this be possible? Because, according to the PF, there were two more police professionals involved: Chief Rivaldo Barbosa and Giniton Lage. Nine professionals who, in theory, should watch over Marielle’s life and not participate in her elimination.

Therefore, when they ask “who killed Marielle”, the blog will answer without hesitation: it was the Brazilian state.

One last addendum: this text was only written because honorable public servants are bringing details of this state crime to light.
