Businessman says he was threatened several times before grenade was thrown onto house in Itaberaí
A rural producer in Itaberaí reported to the Civil Police that he received multiple threats before a grenade was launched into his home via a drone.
A rural producer in Itaberaí, Brazil, has reported a disturbing incident where a grenade was dropped into his house by a drone. He claims to have received multiple threats since September of the previous year, which he attributes to a failed attempt to renegotiate a debt of R$ 1.5 million related to a corn seed purchase. According to him, the threatening messages escalated, indicating that he had a deadline to pay or he would receive a 'gift'.
The victim detailed how the assailants relentlessly pressured him, further complicating an already tense situation. He recounted instances where the perpetrators indicated the gravity of their threats by suggesting dire consequences if he did not comply with their payment demands. The reported drone attack is seen as a culmination of these threats, instilling fear and uncertainty in the local community and raising concerns about safety and financial disputes.
The defense attorneys for the individuals implicated in the threats and the grenade attack have asserted that the investigation is still ongoing and that their clients deny all accusations. Despite the alarming nature of the events described by the victim, the legal proceedings continue to unfold, with the investigation seeking to unravel the details surrounding this profoundly alarming case.
