In Brazil, a police operation targets the “sponsors” of the assassination of Marielle Franco. Last Tuesday, the Minister of Justice, Ricardo Lewandowski, said he hoped for a "rapid" resolution of the case.
Ronnie Lessa, a former member of the Rio military police, currently in prison, is said to have given the names of the masterminds of the crime. The men already in prison are suspected of being linked to paramilitary militias who sow terror in working-class neighborhoods.
