The discovery of cocaine hidden in steaks allowed the dismantling of a drug trafficking network inside prisons. Prison guards found the drug during a search in April 2025.

The drug was intended for a leader of a trafficking network, who was detained at the Guarda prison. Sending the substance through the steaks was the method found to get the cocaine inside the prison.

The judicial process related to this network has 24 defendants. The investigation resulted in the dismantling of the group that operated from inside the prison.

Group of 20 people rescued from the sea after windstorm hits crossing participants in Barra da Tijuca

Twenty people, among swimmers and stand up paddle practitioners, were rescued by the 2nd Maritime Group of the Fire Department this Sunday in Barra da Tijuca, in Rio de Janeiro. The group, composed of 13 men and seven women aged between 20 and 67, was making a crossing heading to the islands Tijuca, Alfavaca, Pontuda and do Meio when they were surprised by a change in wind direction, which dragged them away from the planned route toward São Conrado. One of the participants managed to call the firefighters at number 193, and nine military personnel were mobilized using two jet skis to carry out the rescue. All were taken to the sand and evaluated by the teams, remaining in good condition, with no need for medical referral.
