Brazilian Police Bust 'Communist Hunter' Group in Espionage and Murder Ring

Brazilian Federal Police arrest five suspects in a major organized crime investigation. The investigation, launched after the 2023 murder of lawyer Roberto Zampieri in Cuiabá, Mato Grosso, has uncovered a criminal network known as "Comando C4." The group allegedly operated a price list for assassinations and involved active and reserve military personnel. "This is a very serious case," stated a source close to the investigation, "involving not only contract killings but also a widespread espionage operation." The arrests were made in Mato Grosso, Goiás, and Minas Gerais following a Supreme Court order. The investigation is ongoing, with authorities exploring potential links to corruption within the judiciary. The details of the investigation, including the names of the suspects and the price list, are raising serious concerns about the extent of the criminal network and its reach.
