Copacabana: 13 indicted in fatal beating of cyclist
The Civil Police of Rio de Janeiro have indicted 13 people following the death of 37-year-old cyclist Cláudio Rafael Landeiro Moreira in Copacabana. The victim was fatally beaten during the early hours of August 12 after being mistakenly accused of stealing a bicycle. Investigations revealed the bicycle actually belonged to Moreira's sister.
According to the inquiry led by Delegate Angelo José Lages Machado, the victim, who had psychiatric issues, was surrounded by informal street security and app delivery workers. The assault lasted approximately nine minutes and involved punches, kicks, and numerous strikes with a wooden object. Moreira suffered traumatic brain injury, internal bleeding, and ruptured organs, dying after agonizing on the ground for over 30 minutes before receiving medical assistance.
Five individuals have been indicted for triple-qualified homicide, including street security and delivery workers. Four suspects are currently in custody, while one remains at large. The investigation also uncovered a private financing system for informal security in the area, leading to the indictment of four local merchants for funding these clandestine activities.
