'Master of Weapons': South America's largest arms trafficker is extradited from Argentina to Brazil

oglobo10 September 2026 at 12:32

Argentina's Ministry of National Security initiated on Wednesday (9) the extradition process to Brazil of Argentine Diego Hernán Dirísio, known as "Mestre das Armas." He is identified by the Federal Police as South America's biggest arms trafficker.

Dirísio was arrested by Interpol in February 2024, accompanied by his wife, Julieta Nardi Aranda, who also had a preventive detention order issued. The couple is suspected of being part of a scheme to illegally import weapons for Brazilian criminal factions.

In December 2023, the Federal Court of Bahia received a complaint against Dirísio for international arms trafficking. The PF investigation indicates that, in the three years prior to the arrest, the group would have intermediated the entry of a large volume of firearms and ammunition into Brazil.

Three-year-old boy sexually abused by teenage uncle in Felgueiras

A three-year-old boy is believed to have been a victim of sexual abuse by his 12-year-old uncle in Felgueiras. The case was discovered when the child was taken to a hospital unit, where health professionals alerted the GNR (National Republican Guard) due to suspicions of abuse. The Judicial Police took over the investigation and the child was transferred to Hospital Padre Américo in Penafiel. Given that the alleged perpetrator is 12 years old, the case will be reported to the Family and Minors Court, as in Portugal, minors between the ages of 12 and 16 may be subject to measures under the Educational Guardianship Law. The PJ will now investigate the circumstances under which the alleged abuse is believed to have occurred.
