Federal Police from Minas Arrest Brothers Fugitive in Confines, America – Gerais

On Friday (7/22), the Federal Police arrested two men in connection with a theft and robbery at Confines Airport. The fugitive brothers, one aged 32 and the other 28, were detained in the US by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Both left Brazil for the US in July 2017. After an investigation, the Interpol Regional Office in Minas Gerais was able to locate the fugitives. After contacting the US Immigration Service, the brothers were arrested on US territory.

International search warrants were issued in August 2020 by the Interpol Regional Delegation in Minas Gerais at the request of the Criminal Court of the Comarca de Mantena in Vale do Río Dos.

The brothers, one sentenced to 36 and the other six years, were involved in a series of robberies using motorcycles and guns. In one of these operations, a teenager was killed for stealing a cell phone.

Another prison

A third Brazilian who arrived on the same flight as the deportees from the United States was arrested by federal police and issued a warrant by the Mandeña District Criminal Court. A 32-year-old man is accused of theft. After the forensic examination, the three convicts were taken to the Penitentiary Nelson Hungary, where they will remain at the court’s disposal.
