Civil Police arrests suspect in double homicide during 6th phase of Operation Gotham City in Palmas, TO
TheWkly Analysis
The Civil Police served four arrest warrants on Monday (9) in the 6th phase of Operation Gotham City. The operation targets members of the Red Command criminal faction involved in a wave of murders in Palmas during the first half of 2023. Four arrest warrants were issued against executors and members of the organization's leadership, including leaders known as “Lust” (or LX) and “Blind Rooster.” “Blind Rooster” had already been captured in early February this year in Morro do Vidigal, in Rio de Janeiro. One of the executors who was on the motorcycle was arrested in the Jardim Aureny III sector. The suspects' names were not disclosed, and g1 was unable to contact their defense.
- Residents of Jardim Aureny III and Palmas gain immediate safer streets from the arrest of a double homicide suspect, reducing fear of motorcycle drive-by shootings.
- Families of 2023 murder victims in Palmas achieve partial justice through targeted warrants against Red Command executors and leaders.
- Local business owners in Tocantins experience less extortion pressure as faction leadership is disrupted by ongoing police operations.
