Relationship between Politics and Organized Crime: PF investigations reveal the worrying connection between organized crime and the political sphere of Rio de Janeiro, with the monitoring of PSol politicians by Ronnie Lessa, the confessed author of the murder of Marielle Franco and Anderson Gomes.
Monitored Politicians: In addition to Isadora Peixoto de Oliveira Freixo, Lessa also targeted sociologist and former councilor Renato Cinco, federal deputy Chico Alencar and Tarcísio Motta, all from PSol. Monitoring highlights intense political activity and opposition to specific political interests.
Motivation for the Crime: The central question about the case is why Marielle was targeted. The hypothesis suggests that those who ordered the crime underestimated the impact due to her identity as a woman, black and from the periphery, hoping that the case would be quickly forgotten.
Accomplices to the Murder: Part of Rio’s Civil Police leadership was complicit in the murder, according to Lessa’s report to the PF, which resulted in the arrest of prominent figures such as Chiquinho Brazão, Domingos Brazão and Rivaldo Barbosa.
Conclusion: The PF investigation reveals not only the targets of Marielle’s killer, but also the complex relationship between politics and crime in Rio de Janeiro, highlighting the importance of combating corruption and organized crime within political institutions
