Suspect of sentencing his own brother in 'crime court' is arrested in PI; victim was beaten

The suspect, identified by the initials A.B.C.S., is also suspected of involvement in the murder of a man identified as Lucas, in the same neighborhood. According to the Civil Police, the victim had been tried by members of a criminal organization before being executed.

Other people suspected of participating in this homicide, including women, had already been arrested in previous operations by the Department of Homicide and Personal Protection (DHPP) and the Department for the Repression of Organized Criminal Actions (DRACO).

During this Friday's operation, another man, identified by the initials J.P.C., was also arrested preventively. He is being investigated for his role in another homicide linked to a "crime court". In this case, the victim would have been tied up and tortured by members of a criminal organization.

In total, two preventive arrest warrants and two search and seizure warrants were served. The action was coordinated by DRACO.

According to delegate Laércio Evangelista, coordinator of the department, the objective is to identify and hold accountable people involved in violent crimes committed by criminal organizations.

The two men were taken to DRACO headquarters, where they underwent legal procedures.

The operation is part of a strategy by the Piauí Public Security Secretariat (SSP-PI) to combat homicides and dismantle criminal groups in the state.
