Police suspect that PCC or PMs removed are involved in the death of a former delegate

Sao Paulo investigates the murder of former general delegate Ruy Ferraz Fontes, 68, shot dead on Monday (15) in Praia Grande, on the coast of São Paulo. The crime mobilized a task force that brings together Federal Police, Public Prosecution Service (Gaeco), DHPP, Deic, Garra, Dop, Coes and a. Security cameras recorded the moment when criminals chased the victim’s car, which collided with a bus. Then the killers got out of another vehicle and fired more than 20 times. One of the cars used by the bandits was found burned down.

Two main research lines are analyzed. The first investigates the participation of the First Capital Command (CCP), as Fontes played a central role in the fight against the faction and participated in the arrest of its leader ,. Since 2006, he was a death jury by the criminal group, according to prosecutor Lincoln Gakiya, who also recalled that in 2010 a plan to execute it was frustrated.

The second hypothesis considers the involvement of military police removed from corruption during their management in the head of the Civil Police. Researchers assess whether the crime may have been retaliation for these measures.

The research lines

Researchers work with two main hypotheses:

1. CCP involvement – Sources was one of the biggest enemies of the criminal faction, responsible for the arrest of its leader, Marcos Willians Herbas Camacho, Marcola, and the strategy that concentrated the group’s heads in the maximum security of President Venceslau in 2006. This was considered an affront to organized crime. The former delegate has been a jury of death by the CCP since that period. In 2010, he escaped a group -planned attack, frustrated after route action.

2. Participation of remote military police officers -During his administration as a general delegate, sources ordered the removal of military police suspected of involvement in crimes. Police do not rule out that the crime was a retaliation.

In addition to these lines, the possibility of revenge linked to the period when sources worked as Secretary of Administration of the City Hall of Praia Grande, a position he had since 2023, is also evaluated.

Sources commanded the Civil Police between 2019 and 2022, nominated by then -governor João Doria (PSDB), and had over 40 years of career dedicated to facing organized crime. Currently, he was Secretary of Administration of the City Hall of Praia Grande. The former delegate’s body is veiled at the São Paulo Legislative Assembly (Alesp) and buried at 4 pm on Tuesday (16) at the Peace Cemetery, in Morumbi, south of the capital.
