Military police officer Rodrigo Jorge Ferreira recently admitted that he delivered bribe money to police officers at the Rio de Janeiro Homicide Police Station, at the behest of Orlando Oliveira de Araújo, known as Orlando Curicica.

Ferreirinha's statement to the federal police, as the PM is known, appears in the PF inquiry that concluded that he and his lawyer obstructed the investigation into the double murder of Councilwoman Marielle Franco (PSOL-RJ) and driver Anderson Gomes on March 14, 2018.

The police testimony endorses a report published by UOL in April this year, which revealed that the Federal Police found evidence of corruption in the Capital Homicide Police Station, a Rio de Janeiro Civil Police body.

To PF, Ferreirinha also confessed that he had given false testimony incriminating Curicica and Councilman Marcelo Sicilliano (PHS-RJ) as principals of the attack that killed the councilwoman and the driver.

Sought by the report, the Rio de Janeiro Civil Police Secretary of State declined to comment because the Marielle case "remains confidential."

The people loved this hard-working, committed woman. It's doubtful anyone was fooled when officials started trying to point fingers at fellow leftists for the filthy murder of Marielle Franco and her driver.
