Three members of Comando Vermelho (CV), arrested last Sunday in the Trapiche neighborhood , were brutally beaten by members of the rival Bonde do Maluco (BDM) factionInmates Léo (Fuscão's nephew), Juninho and Gordo de Feira were greeted violently as soon as they entered the cell. The video shows the action of the criminals, who came across members of the rival faction.Sign of ThreeIn addition to the physical attacks, CV members were forced to make the three sign, which is the symbol of the criminal faction Bonde do Maluco. This gesture represents submission and humiliation imposed on rivals.Access to Cell PhonesAn alarming aspect of this incident is how prisoners had access to cell phones inside the cell. This raises serious questions about security in prisons and how elements can give orders to commit crimes despite being behind bars. Calls and video calls made from inside cells demonstrate a serious failure in the prison system.In a note to FALA GENEFAX , the Santo Amaro Police Station said it was investigating the incident. The unit's chief delegate informed that a police investigation was opened to investigate what happened, with interrogation of the inmates who were in the cell.Administrative measures are being adopted to transfer those in custody to the Feira de Santana prison unit, in addition to the intensification of searches in the cells of the Santo Amaro police complex.
