The court in Mato Grosso has processed a complaint from the Public Ministry against Rennan Albuquerque de Melo, a military police officer accused of attempting to kill an app driver during a traffic altercation in Cuiabá. The incident reportedly occurred in 2025, and the decision to accept the charges was made by Judge Helícia Vitti Lourenço of the 12th Criminal Court. Following the shooting, it is alleged that the officer attempted to mislead the investigation by falsely reporting the theft of his vehicle, trying to fabricate an alternative version of events.

In a further development of the case, it has been revealed that his wife, Karoline Pereira Miranda, was also implicated for registering the false police report. Consequently, both individuals are now facing charges related to the crime. The court has stated that the charges against Rennan include attempted homicide, aggravated by trivial motives and the manner in which it complicated the victim's defense, along with qualified damage, procedural fraud, and illegal possession of a weapon.

The implications of this case are significant as they highlight issues of accountability within law enforcement and the potential for corruption in serious criminal matters. As the case progresses, it raises questions about the integrity of police conduct and the broader impact on public trust in law enforcement agencies. The involvement of his wife further complicates the narrative, suggesting a possible conspiracy to obstruct justice, which could lead to more extensive investigations into the police force's conduct in similar cases.
