This Thursday (9), the Federal Police (PF) served two preventive arrest warrants against those accused of participating in the murders of councilor Marielle Franco and driver Anderson Gomes. The warrants were issued by the Federal Supreme Court (STF), at the request of the Attorney General’s Office.
The homicide investigations, which were initiated by the Civil Police and are currently also being carried out by the PF, have already resulted in the arrest of two accused of carrying out the murders, former police officers Ronnie Lessa and Élcio Queiróz, of those accused of planning the crime, the brothers Domingos and Chiquinho Brazão, and Civil Police Chief Rivaldo Barbosa who, according to investigations, had tried to ensure that the brothers went unpunished.
Firefighter Maxwell Simões Corrêa had also been arrested, accused of helping to destroy evidence of the crime.
Those arrested in this Thursday’s operation are Robson Calixto da Fonseca, known as Peixe, who was an advisor to Domingos Brazão, and military police officer Ronald Alves de Paula, Major Ronald, appointed as former head of the Muzema militia, in the West Zone from Rio de Janeiro.
The Attorney General’s Office also denounced the brothers Domingos and Chiquinho Brazão and police chief Rivaldo Barbosa for the attack, in 2018, against councilor Marielle Franco, who have been imprisoned since the end of March.
