Brazil: Raids to murder Rio city councilor Marielle Franco – ex. head of Rio's civil police as well as a member of the National Congress and his brother.
Police investigations revealed that a dispute over commercial use of land was a primary motive. A former police officer was arrested as a suspected shooter but has not yet been brought to justice. The arrest of the alleged commissioners of the murder is an important step in the search for justice, says Franco's sister Anielle.
