Former state congressman Thiago Raimundo de Oliveira Santos, known as TH Jóias, will be transferred to a federal penitentiary after the Regional Federal Court of the 2nd Region (TRF2) accepted on Thursday the indictment from the Federal Prosecutor's Office (MPF) against him and four others accused of being part of a criminal organization linked to Comando Vermelho in Rio de Janeiro.
With the decision, the five became defendants for crimes such as corruption, drug and arms trafficking, and smuggling. In addition to TH Jóias, the defendants are Gabriel Dias de Oliveira, known as Índio; Luiz Eduardo Cunha Gonçalves, aka Dudu; former state secretary Alessandro Pitombeira Carracena; and Federal Police delegate Gustavo Stteel.
The group was targeted by Operation Zargun, which investigated a scheme of criminal activities involving the Comando Vermelho faction. The transfer of TH Jóias to the federal prison is part of the measures adopted in the process.
