The Civil Police in Brazil have stated that they possess sufficient evidence to move forward with indicting Cristiano Domingues Francisco, the only suspect in the disappearance of the Aguiar family, which includes 48-year-old Silvana Germann de Aguiar and her parents, Isail and Dalmira Aguiar, aged 69 and 70, respectively. The family has been missing since January 24 and 25, raising significant concern within the community of Cachoeirinha in the Metropolitan Region of Porto Alegre.

Cristiano, Silvana's ex-partner, has been detained on a temporary basis while investigations continue. According to Anderson Spier, the lead investigator, there are currently indications and proof against Cristiano related to the case, prompting police action. However, he highlighted the necessity for the Public Ministry to have enough information to pursue a formal legal process, indicating that while the investigation is progressing, it has not yet reached a conclusive stage.

The police have conducted interviews with over 30 witnesses to gather information and establish the circumstances surrounding the family's disappearance. The defense team for Cristiano has stated they have not yet had access to the inquiry, which raises questions about the transparency of the investigation and the rights of the accused as legal proceedings unfold. As this case develops, it emphasizes the challenges local law enforcement faces in ensuring justice while balancing investigative integrity and individuals' rights.
