Clothing worn by Francisco during the explosions made a possible allusion to the character Joker
According to the progress of the investigation, Francisco wore a white hat and wore clothes with playing card prints, which would be a reference to the Joker’s costume, a comic book villain.
On his Facebook profile, Francisco left the following message: “Let’s play??? Federal Police, you have 72 hours to defuse the bomb in the house of the shitty communists.”
Francisco visited STF and Chamber before the explosions
About two months ago, on August 24, Francisco visited the STF building and published a selfie with the following message: “They let the fox into the chicken coop (sty) or they don’t know the size of the prey or it’s really stupid”.
Earlier, on Wednesday (13), Francisco was in the Chamber of Deputies. Upon entering, he informed that he intended to visit the office of Santa Catarina federal deputy Jorge Goetten (Republicans).
França should have gone to annex 3 to access the office, but he diverted to annex 4, where he entered the bathroom and then left the place.
When talking to the newspaper SC on the agendaGoetten confirmed that he had known Francisco for many years.
“He was here this year, in August. I was not present, but the office staff informed me that he spent the afternoon there”, he reported.
According to the deputy, in past meetings he had noticed different behavior in Francisco, who was going through a divorce process.
“He told me that he liked Brasília, that he rented a house in Ceilândia and was developing a social project there. I thought it was strange, because that didn’t suit him,” said the deputy.
Regarding Francisco’s professional life, Goetten said that he worked with night events, known for organizing big “ballads”.
“He had big event venues. He was a visionary businessman, well known and from a very good family”, said the deputy.
