Other occurrences in Baixada Santista
This Wednesday (7), a corporal and a sergeant were shot during an incident in Santos, on the coast. The corporal received treatment, but died shortly afterwards.
The Secretary of Public Security of the State of São Paulo, Guilherme Derrite, stated in a video published on social media that the criminals responsible for the death of Corporal José Silveira dos Santos, this Wednesday (7), belong to the largest criminal organization in the country .
The perpetrators of the crime were convicted of drug trafficking and for having shot at civil police officers in 2019. They were sentenced to 15 years in prison and benefited from temporary prison release and did not return to prison.
“A country that grants temporary release to a highly dangerous criminal like this is unacceptable,” said the secretary.
