The Minister of Justice of Brazil, Flávio Dino, announced this Thursday that the Federal Police has arrested “another person involved in the criminal organization that carried out the murders” of British journalist Dom Phillips and Brazilian indigenous activist Bruno Pereira after disappearing in the inaccessible region. indigenous of the Yavarí Valley. For its part, the Federal Police of Brazil has reported through a statement that it has “complied” with the arrest warrant against “the known informant and ally of the person responsible for the murders” carried out in June 2022 in one of the largest routes through which the cocaine that arrives from Peru circulates to be distributed to Europe after passing through Brazil. Likewise, he recalled that in the investigation into this case, the executors (who were denounced by the Prosecutor’s Office) and those who hid the bodies of the victims have been charged. The perpetrator of the murders and other people involved in the plot were also charged. The police force has added in its letter that the intellectual author – identified as Rubén Villar Coelho, alias ‘Colombia’ – is in prison in Manaus for falsification of identity documents and for being the head of a transnational criminal organization in an investigation on illegal fishing and smuggling. Coelho denied at all times that he participated in any way in the murders of Phillips and Pereira, who had recently made a series of seizures of several species of fish and even turtle, very valuable in the market, which were used in the money laundering plot. money. These actions by Pereira jeopardized the interests of ‘Colombia’, who is suspected of ordering another of the suspects, Amarildo da Costa, alias ‘Pelado’, to put the head of the Brazilian indigenist up for auction. Subsidiary structures of the Cali Cartel and other criminal organizations in Peru, the country with which this region of the Yavarí Valley borders, would also participate in this plot. All of these groups act in collaboration with fishermen in the area, including San Rafael, the last place where Pereira and Phillips were seen alive, who were going to meet with the community leader and uncle of ‘Pelado’, ‘ Churrasco’, who did not attend the appointment.
