Franco was assassinated in March 2018, and pre-military gangs, crime groups made up of past and future police officers who control large chunks of the state of Rio - are suspected by many as being involved in her murder. Two former police officers are in jail and charged with murder, but they deny it.

The shooting suspect, Ronnie Lisa, lived in the same condominium in Bolsonaro's son Rio and his son Carlos, but they both denied contact. It is suspected that Lisa was a member of the Novara gang, known as the Crime Bureau. In addition to on-demand assassinations, she manages construction projects in western Rio.

Nowaraga, his wife and mother were involved in a criminal investigation into embezzlement, money laundering and blackmail threats, which allegedly also involved Flavio, the son of former president and police officer Fabricio Kierosh. Novara and Kirush previously served in the same police unit.

In December, a court in Rio approved searches of the property involved in the case, but a separate investigation by federal police determined there was no money laundering evidence in Flavio Bulsonaro's real estate transactions. Arrested on suspicion of murder, Novara was later cleared of suspicions.
