The Federal Police of Brazil has determined that state deputy Rodrigo Bacellar (União Brasil) allegedly informed fellow deputy Thiego Raimundo de Oliveira Santos, known as TH Joias, about the impending launch of Operation Zargun, which aimed at dismantling the Comando Vermelho (CV) criminal organization. The conclusions stem from the final report of an investigation into the operation, which was focused on the activities of one of Brazil's most notorious drug trafficking factions.

The report details that a drug trafficker, Gabriel Dias de Oliveira, known as Índio do Lixão, claimed he received prior warning about the police action from Bacellar. This information emerged during a meeting between TH Joias and Índio at a custody hearing, where Índio recounted the conversation with Bacellar, indicating that he was aware of the police operation ahead of its public execution. Such preemptive warnings to criminals raise significant concerns regarding corruption and the integrity of public officials.

This revelation adds to the ongoing debates about political accountability and the connections between politicians and drug trafficking organizations in Brazil. If proven true, Bacellar's actions could have serious implications for law enforcement efforts and public trust in political institutions. The findings from this investigation may also prompt further scrutiny into the relationships between politicians and organized crime, as Brazil grapples with the persistent challenges of corruption and crime.
