The announcement was made to Jovem Pan News and coincides with one of the biggest police operations against funk players in the country
The mayor of Cuiabá, Abílio Brunini, presented to the City Council a bill that seeks the operating license of concert halls that promote organized crime, drug trafficking or violence against women. The announcement was made to Jovem Pan News and coincides with one of the biggest police operations against funk players in the country.
This Wednesday (15), the Federal Police launched Operation Narco Fluxo and arrested singers MC Ryan SP and MC Poze do Rodo. Investigations indicate that the scheme used the music industry and digital entertainment to move and hide illicit money — and would have moved R$1.6 billion in Brazil and abroad.
Ryan SP was arrested during a party in a luxury apartment on the Riviera de São Lourenço, in Bertioga, on the coast of São Paulo. Poze do Rodo was detained at his home, in Recreio dos Bandeirantes, in Rio de Janeiro. In 2025, Poze had already been arrested on suspicion of condoning crime and involvement with the Comando Vermelho faction.
Brunini had warned about the pattern: singers who advocate violence against women on stage and appear, shortly afterwards, with links to organized crime. “I, as mayor, will not dispense with the operating license for establishments that promote this type of practice,” he told Jovem Pan News.
Today’s operation is the national portrait of what the mayor of Cuiabá has already decided to face by law.
