Last week, Rogério de Andrade, a prominent figure in the illegal gambling scene in Rio de Janeiro, was arrested during a police operation. Andrade is regarded as one of the leading representatives of illegal activities in the state, having inherited an empire from the notorious Castor de Andrade, his uncle. This arrest is connected to the murder of Inácio, his familial rival, which occurred in November 2020 and ignited a violent feud between the two families. The investigation into the crime was complex and spanned several years, culminating in Andrade's arrest, who had been released recently after serving time under probation. New evidence linking Andrade directly to the homicide has emerged, marking a significant development in the case. His capture symbolizes a critical moment in the ongoing battle against organized crime, particularly given his central role in a network operating in the western zone of Rio. The unfolding saga of Andrade and his family conflicts illustrates the grave reality of criminality in Brazil, shedding light on the intertwining relationships between crime and familial ties.
