The telephone wiretap led police to arrest a military officer suspected of the disappearance of a family in RS
A military officer in Brazil has been arrested in connection with the ongoing investigation into the disappearance of the Aguiar family after a telephone wiretap revealed incriminating evidence.
New developments in the case of the Aguiar family, who have been missing for over two weeks, were reported on Wednesday by g1. Police utilized telephone wiretapping of military police officer Cristiano Domingues Francisco, who was the former partner of Silvana Germann de Aguiar, to uncover evidence suggesting his possible involvement in the crime. As a result, he has been identified as a suspect and a temporary arrest warrant has been issued against him.
The investigation revealed suspicious communication patterns involving both Cristiano's phone and Silvana's phone, which was discovered near her parents' home and has been sent for forensic analysis to confirm its ownership. This significant piece of evidence raises concerns regarding the whereabouts of Silvana and her family, amplifying fears for their safety.
Cristianoβs defense attorney has indicated that they have yet to access the case files and judicial decision, stating, "There is no way to have any position. I only know what is being reported in the media." This case highlights ongoing issues of domestic violence and familial safety, particularly as the investigation unfolds and more details about the suspects come to light.
