Alex Tomaz Campos, a 38-year-old man, has been arrested for allegedly leading a gang that specialized in robbing residents outside their homes. He was also known to have been posing as a pastor at a church in Guarujá, São Paulo. According to the Civil Police, he is linked to a robbery incident involving Romer Saucedo Gómez, the president of the Supreme Court of Bolivia, which occurred in December 2025.

During an investigation by the Guarujá Police Department, Campos and two other suspects were arrested following a police chase where firearms were seized. The police indicated that Campos played a central role in the criminal activities, responsible for recruiting gang members and selecting targets. Typically, the gang would approach victims outside their homes in a vehicle, highlighting a methodical and audacious approach to their crimes.

The arrest marks a significant development in the ongoing efforts by law enforcement to combat organized crime in coastal regions of São Paulo. Given the high-profile nature of one of the robbery victims, this case draws attention to the safety of public figures in the area and underscores the broader implications of gang activity, as it raises concerns about security in both local communities and for those visiting from abroad.
