Brazil’s federal police have arrested two men suspected of ordering the killing of popular Rio de Janeiro councilwoman Marielle Franco in 2018. Police investigations showed federal deputy Chiquinho Brazão and his brother Domingos Brazão, a member of Rio state’s accounts watchdog, were detained on suspicion of ordering a hit against Franco. Both have alleged connections to criminal groups who illegally charge residents for various services, including protection. Rivaldo Barbosa, the head of Rio’s police when the murder took place, was also arrested for alleged obstruction of the investigation. The assassination of the 38-year-old Black, bisexual Franco shook Brazil profoundly and reverberated across the world.
