Why It Matters
Investigations resulting from Megaoperation Containment revealed videos of torture and audio about the concealment of a corpse.
One of the 15 defendants who had the conviction requested by the Public Prosecutor's Office in one of the processes related to Megaoperation Contenção, from October 2025, is responsible for an episode of torture in Penha.
The victim, who was not identified, appeared during investigations by the Narcotics Suppression Police Station (DRE), and was obtained from the cell phone of Fagner Campos Marinho, known as "Bafo".
Appointed as one of the personal security guards of Edgar Alves de Andrade, Doca, head of the faction, Fagner was one of the 99 arrested in the action in the Penha and Alemão Complexes that ended with 122 dead.
The images show the victim tied up, with his face and body covered in blood. The video was recorded, according to investigations, on April 30, 2025. Fagner asks the victim:
“Do you want to die soon?” asks Fagner, according to the Public Ministry.
According to the MP, the torture episode was a "personal punishment" as a "preventive measure in the interest of the criminal faction Comando Vermelho".
"He tried to run here, we gave him a massage here, okay?", reports "Bafo" himself before proposing the execution of the man who, tied up and attacked, is unable to formulate a response.
Because of this video, Fagner was indicted by the DRE, denounced by the MPRJ and is facing legal action for association with trafficking and torture in one of the cases against the Megaoperation defendants. The criminal action is taking place in the 42nd Criminal Court.
Audios monitored in the investigation indicate that Fagner gave audio orders to accomplices to get rid of a body after a possible homicide. In one of the audios, he refers to the body as "ham".
“Tell him that he should see the best way to send a car here that we are going to leave dead back there, and that the guy should go and get it then,” he says in the audios sent.
The audio was used by the Public Prosecutor's Office in the complaint to demonstrate the cruelty, criminal reiteration and concealment of the corpse resulting from the execution. The victim was not identified.
