Leaders of Comando Vermelho were transferred to federal prisons following a court decision in Rio de Janeiro this Wednesday (12). This measure occurs amid intense clashes between the police and members of the faction in the Penha and Alemão complexes.
The transfer includes seven of the ten drug traffickers identified as ringleaders in the recent attacks, with the court requesting additional information for three other members.
The federal destination units, located in states such as Rio Grande do Norte and Mato Grosso do Sul, have maximum security.
The decision seeks not only to respond to acts of violence, but also to prevent these criminals from continuing to exert influence from within state prisons.
See who the transferred prisoners are
- Roberto de Souza Brito (Irmão Metralha) – sentenced to more than 50 years in prison;
- Arnaldo da Silva Dias (Naldinho) – sentenced to more than 80 years in prison;
- Alexander de Jesus Carlos (Shock or Crown) – sentenced to more than 30 years in prison;
- Marco Antônio Pereira Firmino (My Thor) – sentenced to more than 35 years in prison;
- Fabrício de Melo de Jesus (Bichinho) – sentenced to more than 65 years in prison;
- Carlos Vinícius Lírio da Silva (Cabeça de Sabão) – sentenced to more than 60 years in prison;
- Eliezer Miranda Joaquim (Criam) – sentenced to more than 100 years in prison
