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.
A 28-year-old man was arrested after identifying himself as a member of a criminal faction and beating a 10-year-old child suspected of an act analogous to attempted robbery at Praia de Iracema in Fortaleza on Sunday (8). Witnesses recorded the man slapping the boy and stating the area was controlled by Comando Vermelho (Red Command, a major Brazilian criminal organization originating from Rio de Janeiro prisons), reprimanding the child for stealing in the region. The videos went viral on social media. According to the Security Secretariat, the victim of the attempted robbery did not want to file a report against the child. The aggressor was captured by agents from the Tourist Police Battalion (BPtur) in the Meireles neighborhood. He has prior records for fraud and crimes against public administration.
