Rio de Janeiro Police Conduct Major Operation Targeting Drug Trafficking Heir Rio de Janeiro, Brazil – A major police operation is underway in the Baixada Fluminense region of Rio de Janeiro, targeting Everton Conceição, known as 'Popó,' the alleged heir to a powerful drug trafficking faction. The operation, involving 101 search and apprehension warrants, is focused on dismantling the criminal organization and bringing its leaders to justice. "Já são sete presos nessa mega operação que acontece aqui no Rio de Janeiro," said Lívia Mendonça, a reporter covering the event. This translates to, "There are already seven arrests in this mega-operation that is happening here in Rio de Janeiro." 'Popó' is the son of a founding member of the Comando Vermelho, one of Brazil's most notorious criminal organizations. Police believe 'Popó' assumed leadership after his father's death. The operation has already resulted in several arrests and the seizure of evidence. Police are continuing their efforts to apprehend 'Popó' and other key members of the organization. This operation represents a significant blow to organized crime in Rio de Janeiro. The ongoing investigation and arrests are a testament to the commitment of law enforcement to tackling drug trafficking and ensuring the safety of the community.
