The cause of death of the orange from Campos was poisoning.

Pernambuco 247 - Businessman Paulo César de Barros Morato, a fugitive from Operation Turbulence who was found dead in a motel in Olinda, in the Recife Metropolitan Region, died of poisoning. With the results of the autopsy, it will be up to the police to determine whether the businessman committed suicide or was poisoned.

According to the newspaper Folha de Pernambuco, the cause of death listed in the autopsy report is "exogenous intoxication." Morato is identified as a front man for a criminal organization suspected of laundering money for the political campaigns of former governor Eduardo Campos.

According to investigations from Operation Turbulence, launched on the 22nd by the Federal Police, the scheme allegedly involved around R$ 600 million. Part of the funds were allegedly diverted from public works, such as the São Francisco River Transposition project.

In the murder room, the Civil Police collected blister packs of various medications, as well as three cell phones, seven pen drives, several pairs of eyeglasses and sunglasses, three brown leather wallets, three blank checks - two from Banco do Brasil and one from Bradesco -, in addition to 53 empty envelopes for Banco do Brasil deposits, R$ 3 in cash, R$ 4,95 in coins, and a Spider-Man doll. The material found at the scene was sent to the Federal Police.

The lack of supplementary forensic analysis at the scene, however, was harshly criticized by police and forensic experts' associations and unions. The opposition even called for the federalization of the investigations.
