In April, we reported that a task force of 12 state legislative police (PC, for Polícia Civil) was being formed to investigate a death squad inside the military police (PM). A death squad, operating in the regions of Osasco and Carapicuíba.Three months later, five men, three of them PMs, are under arrest and charged with homicide and attempted homicide.
In its investigation, the PC was assisted by the internal affairs division of the PM.
The PMs indicted are Lt. Diego Rodrigues de Almeida, sergeant Francisco Marcelo Santos and private Fabrício Emmanuel Eleutério.
The other two men arrested were security guards Paulo Roberto da Silva, aka “Uncle Paulo,” and Márcio Silvestre Ferreira.
The five men remain in jail on the strength of a judicial order, and their attorneys have had access to the case file. The crimes were committed on February 5 of this year, in Osasco.
