Responsible for the arrest of André Oliveira Macedo, 43, André do Rap, in September last year, said the delegate of São Paulo Fábio Pinheiro Lopes in an interview with Twitter that recovering it “is not impossible”, but that “it will not be easy. It will be difficult to recover it. Therefore, we are joining forces to try to recover it. It will take time.”
In September of last year, when he learned from his investigators that André do Rap would spend a weekend in a mansion in Angra dos Reis (RJ), with many drinks and models, the delegate, who at that time was in Dope (Division Antissequestro of the Department of Police Operations), went there. André do Rap was arrested at dawn on Sunday 15th.
There, the delegate gave voice of arrest and took him, by helicopter, to Campo de Marte airport, in the north of São Paulo. There, André do Rap was shown as a trophy for the press: according to the police, the main head of the PCC (First Command of the Capital) in Santos and the link between the São Paulo faction and the Italian mafia ‘Ndrangheta had been captured .
After being placed in the vehicle, André do Rap went to prison 2 of Presidente Venceslau, in the interior of São Paulo, from where he left through the main gate last Saturday morning (10) after a habeas corpus signed by the Minister of the STF (Supreme Court) Marco Aurélio Mello.
The now director of the DHPP (Department of Homicides and Personal Protection), delegate Fábio Pinheiro Lopes said: “He was a fugitive for almost six years. The greatest difficulty for the police to arrest, in addition to his financial strength, which is very high.” It is also your network of relationships inside and outside of Brazil. He has lived in the Netherlands and has a very close relationship with the ‘Ndrangheta, the Calabrian mafia’.
We have no idea where it is. I think he is no longer in Brazil. Only time will tell.
Chief Fábio Pinheiro Lopes
According to researchers interviewed by the Twitter Josmar JozinoUpon leaving prison, André do Rap went to the city of Maringá (PR) and, from there, took a private plane to Paraguay. A São Paulo task force, with more than 600 police officers, in addition to federal police officers, is trying to recover it.
According to Elvis Secco, general coordinating delegate for the repression of drugs, weapons and criminal factions of the Federal Police, there was movement of attachés and officers in neighboring countries, in addition to the request to include André do Rap’s name on the list of fugitives from Interpol. .
STF decision
Minister Marco Aurélio Mello ordered the release of André do Rap in early October, arguing that he had been in prison without a final sentence since December 2019. [na verdade, ele foi preso em setembro de 2019]. And that this contradicted article 316 of the CPP (Code of Criminal Procedure), which establishes that preventive detentions must be reviewed every 90 days.
For the delegate Fábio Pinheiro Lopes, the minister was not wrong, but the law must be revised. “When someone’s jail exceeds, they already have a habeas corpus for the lawyer to go to court requesting the exit. Now, for that legal subterfuge, they put it, saying that if the judge is ex officio, if it is not renewed every 90 days, it makes imprisonment illegal. “
“The minister is Super coolI can’t say I was wrong. But, instead, he would send the letter to the judge to justify the need for his arrest. The judge could respond within 48 hours and now we would not try to catch the criminal again, “he said.
How the police got to André do Rap
André Oliveira Macedo, 43, André do Rap, entered the São Paulo Civil Police radar when investigators monitored two Italians off the São Paulo coast in 2019: father and son- wanted by Interpol for being part of the ‘Ndrangheta mafia, considered by Europeans to be the largest active criminal organization in the world.
Italians Nicola Assisi, 61, and Patrick Assisi, 37, lived in a luxury apartment in Praia Grande. While monitoring both, the police noticed that the Italians used to have sex with a neighbor in the same building. Police identified the neighbor as André do Rap, who had been a fugitive for almost six years.
With the new objective in sight, the Civil Police followed the trail of an orange employee of André do Rap. A man who, in a year, had a boom on your assets. From a motorcycle valued at just under R $ 8 thousand, this orange bought a R $ 6 million boat and started to manage a company that turned around R $ 500 thousand per month.
Santos-Calabria connection
André do Rap is accused by the MP of São Paulo of leading, since February 2018, the PCC in Santos. The position of those who lead the faction in the city is considered highly reliable, since it is a strategic region for international drug trafficking carried out by the PCC.
Santos was led until 2018 by Rogério Jeremias de Simone, Gegê do Mangue, murdered in February 2018, when he was 41 years old. According to the MP, he died for embezzling money from drug trafficking in the city. Since then, according to investigators, the place has had André do Rap as its boss.
Like André do Rap, Gegê do Mangue was also released by court order and left the main gate of the prison in February 2017. Then he did not comply with all the determinations and was only found dead in Ceará. André do Rap’s defense claims that his client was never proven to be involved with the PCC.
Nicola and Patrick Assisi, for their part, are accused by the Italian government of being the main leaders of the ‘Ndrangheta in South America. The two were arrested in Praia Grande in July 2019 and are awaiting extradition proceedings in the Brasilia federal prison. His defense denies his involvement with the Italian mafia. They say they suffer from racism in Italy because they are from the south of the country, a poorer region compared to the north.
While they were released, the Italians did not even disguise their identity to live in Brazil. Patrick, named on Interpol’s red list, had two children in a high-level hospital in São Paulo, showing his real name, for example.
The Italians and André do Rap hired the same law firm, which is not illegal, but according to investigators, it is not a coincidence. André do Rap’s defense claims that his client was never proven to be involved with the PCC.
To operate in Brazil, ‘Ndrangheta has entered into agreements with the PCC. In two years, at least three men with leadership positions in the Italian mafia have been with heads of the Brazilian organization, among them Gilberto Aparecido dos Santos, Fuminho, arrested on April 13 this year in Mozambique.
Asís, according to the São Paulo Civil Police, negotiated drugs with Fuminho, who is not considered a member of the PCC, but a partner and right-hand man of Marco Willians Herbas Camacho, Marcola, designated as head of the group. Fuminho would be the main supplier of medicines – from countries like Peru, Bolivia, Colombia and Paraguay – for the CCP.
