The Federal Police extradited this Wednesday (11) Two fugitives from the Brazilian courts accused of forming criminal organization, qualified homicide, a reduction to the condition analogous to that of slave and international arms trafficking. The pair was delivered by French authorities on the Oiapoque Binational Bridge, at the Amapá border with French Guiana.
The suspects had been at large since April 2024 and were on the Interpol list by red diffusion. Both were the target of Operation Boulanger, which aimed to dismantle a transnational criminal organization acting in the border region between Brazil and French Guiana.
The PF investigation identified that the crimes occurred in the municipality of Oiapoque and extended to the Boulanger mining on French soil. The group would have submitted several Brazilians to degrading working conditions, with exhaustive hours, under armed threat and without the possibility of escape. There is evidence that one of the victims was murdered during the criminal action.
Extradition was carried out based on the extradition treaty signed between Brazil and France, after the decree of pre -trial detention in foreign territory.
With the formalization of the delivery, the two men were taken to the Federal Police Station in Oiapoque and remain available to the Federal Court of the 1st Region, responsible for the trial.
The operation was supported by the PF International Cooperation Center.
