Nassif points to "irresponsible leniency" in the Marielle case investigations.

247 - Journalist Luis Nassif criticizes the lack of a conclusion to the investigations into the assassination of former councilwoman Marielle Franco (PSOL) in March 2018 by organized crime. "This information has been available for some time. It was ignored due to irresponsible leniency towards Bolsonaro, giving momentum to the family while they awaited the final dismantling of the 88 Constitution," he says, listing some "pieces of the puzzle."

"The information that the money from the kickback scheme was managed by Queiroz. The investigation by the Rio de Janeiro Public Prosecutor's Office showing that the money was used to build irregular properties in the West Zone, and managed by Adriano Nóbrega, the militia member killed in Bahia. The information from General Richard Nunes, Secretary of Security of Rio during the intervention period, that Marielle's murder was due to problems she caused in real estate speculation in the West Zone," he says.

Nassif adds that "the other pieces of the puzzle have been available for some time now." "The arrival of Marielle's assassins at Bolsonaro's condominium on the day of the assassination. The doorman of the condominium assured that they asked to speak at Bolsonaro's house. Jornal Nacional swallowed the explanation that, because he was in Brasília, Bolsonaro could not have received the call," he states.
