“I reinforce the MP-RJ’s commitment to society as a whole and to the victims’ families that the institution is committed to elucidating the case”, said Mattos.

Prosecutors Simone Sibilio and Leticia Emile let the task force on July 10th. The decision would have been taken because of the risk of outside interference in the investigations. They would have stayed out of negotiations over the award-winning collaboration of Julia Lotufo, widow of former Bope captain Adriano da Nóbrega, suspected of participating in the councilor’s murder.
