The SSP (Secretariat of Public Security) was questioned about the investigation, but stated that the investigation was being carried out in secret, so it would not respond. Confidentiality was requested by the Internal Affairs Department.

Folha found that the Civil Police is investigating the participation of a second police officer in the crime, but there are still no details on how he would be involved.

The investigation asked the Court for the temporary arrest of another participant in the crime.

The case occurred on the street of Rua Inês Monteiro, in Artur Alvim, on Monday night (10).

Images from surveillance cameras show a group talking when two armed men arrive, around 10:20 pm, and begin attacking the young man, who is wearing a blue shirt. The rest run away.

The victim tries to defend himself, but is attacked and thrown to the ground several times. After a while, a vehicle that looks like an uncharacterized vehicle, with flashing lights, arrives at the scene. The young man is handcuffed and placed in the trunk of the vehicle.

The Civil Police are searching for the victim, who has not been identified or found so far.

The Internal Affairs Department and Decap (Judiciary Police Department of the Capital) are investigating the case.
