Marielle Was Killed for Being Seen as an Obstacle to Militias, Says Brazil Federal Police

The crime is said to have been committed due to the 'repugnance of the Brazão brothers' towards the PSOL councilwoman's activities

The Federal Police inquiry indicates that the PSOL councilwoman Marielle Franco was murdered "for being seen as an obstacle" to the interests of brothers Chiquinho and Domingos Brazão.

Investigators correlated statements from former police officer Ronnie Lessa, suspected of being the perpetrator of the crime and who closed a plea deal on the case, with data on the former councilwoman's political activities and alleged criminal activities of the Brazão brothers, mainly related to militias and land grabbing.

"Based on the facts depicted in Ronnie Lessa's plea deal, the determining motive for her death would be related to a matter played out more discreetly by her parliamentary mandate, namely: the defense of the right to housing," says a passage from the approximately 500-page PF report.

"The statements about the animosity of the Brazão Brothers towards PSOL politicians are considered plausible," the report says. The police highlight discrepancies between Marielle and Chiquinho Brazão in the Rio City Council's discussion on a bill "designed to ease [land] regularization rules."

Read the story by @ajplus:

"Six years after the assassination of #human rights activist and councilor Marielle Franco, three of Brazil's major political and police figures have been arrested. Bank accounts of family members and alleged accomplices have also been frozen.

In 2016, Franco was elected as the only Black woman in Rio de Janeiro's city council. She consistently advocated for racial equality and an end to police corruption. She was killed in a drive-by shooting in 2018 while leaving a Black women's empowerment event.

Hoje completa 5 anos do assassinato de Marielle Franco. Que a justiça pela memória dela seja baseada em nunca mais ninguém precisar morrer por resistir à ordem vigente. Queremos o fim da cultura de violência; o fim do patriarcado, do racismo e do capitalismo. Seguiremos resistindo, mas precisamos de segurança, queremos as mulheres vivas.

Brazilian police arrest suspected masterminds behind the killing of councilwoman-turned-icon

Brazil’s federal police arrested on Sunday the men suspected of ordering the killing of a Rio de Janeiro councilwoman in 2018, a long-awaited step after years of society clamoring for justice.

The brutal assassination of Marielle Franco, a 38-year-old Black, bisexual Rio de Janeiro city councilwoman in a drive-by shooting, shook Brazil profoundly and reverberated across the world.

Two federal police sources with knowledge of the investigation told The Associated Press that congressman Chiquinho Brazão and his brother Domingos Brazão, a member of Rio state’s accounts watchdog, were detained on suspicion of ordering the hit against Franco. Both have alleged connections to criminal groups, known as militias, who illegally charge residents for various services, including protection.

The sources didn’t make clear what their suspected motive was.
