A deputy among the instigators of the murder of Marielle Franco - News.com.au. Two brothers, one of whom is a deputy of the Uniao Brasil party, and a former head of Rio's civil police were arrested.
The motivation for the crime, according to investigators, would be linked to the territorial expansion of the'militias' (paramilitary groups formed by corrupt former police officers) in Rio. As a city councilor for the far-left Socialism and Freedom Party (Psol), Franco had often denounced the illicit activities of these criminal groups.
