Investigator in the Marielle case: Bolsonaro's children and the assassin dated.

247 - The first concrete link between Jair Bolsonaro's family and Ronnie Lessa's has emerged: one of Bolsonaro's sons dated Lessa's daughter. This fact was confirmed by the head of the Homicide Division in Rio de Janeiro, Giniton Lages, during a press conference about the arrest of Lessa and the other assassin, former military policeman Élcio Vieira de Queiroz. Bolsonaro and Lessa live in the same condominium in Barra da Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro. With their sons dating, what kind of relationship has been established between the two families?

In a nearly inaudible part of the interview, an unidentified reporter asked: "Is it confirmed that Bolsonaro's youngest son dated or is dating Ronie Lessa's daughter?" Lages replied: "It's confirmed, but that's not the subject of an investigation at this time." He then stated that he would deal with this relationship between the families "at the appropriate time." The relationship was not "important now." At this point, Lages was interrupted by someone who could not be identified in the broadcast, and the subject disappeared from the agenda.  

Bolsonaro's youngest son is Jair Renan Bolsonaro, 20 years old, but his name was not mentioned in the question or the answer. 

Marielle's killer is known for his violent profile, according to... report from the newspaper O GloboRonie Lessa, feared even by his own colleagues after retiring from the force and an expert marksman, particularly with rifles, was ambushed on April 28, a month after Marielle's death. There is suspicion that someone tried to kill him as a way to eliminate evidence. The sergeant is the main target of the first joint operation by the Homicide Division (DH) of the Capital and the Gaeco (Special Action Group to Combat Organized Crime) to arrest those involved in the councilwoman's death. The circumstances of the crime have not yet been determined, nor is it known who ordered the execution.
