An investigation is launched by the General Control of Discipline of Public Security and Penitentiary Systems (CGD) into an incident involving a police officer who allegedly assaulted a 31-year-old man, Francisco Marden Oliveira, while he was leaving his children at school in the Ellery neighborhood of Fortaleza. The assault reportedly included multiple strikes to the face, resulting in bleeding, as well as blows to the ribs and groin area, raising serious concerns about police conduct in what should have been a routine security check.

The victim's legal representation, led by attorney João Mota, has taken formal steps to denounce the actions of the police officers involved. Marden underwent a forensic examination to assess his injuries and formally lodged a complaint with the CGD against the officers on duty at the time. This case has attracted significant attention and adds to the ongoing discourse regarding police reform and accountability in Brazil, particularly in the context of public safety measures and community relations.

In response to the incident, the Ceará Military Police (PMCE) issued a statement affirming its commitment to addressing any misconduct, indicating a willingness to investigate the events surrounding the assault. As the process unfolds, the case could shed light on systemic issues within law enforcement and potentially prompt calls for deeper investigations into practices that jeopardize civilian safety during police operations in Brazilian cities like Fortaleza.
