Milton Leite arrested in PCC transport probe; office burglarized
Milton Leite, former president of the São Paulo Municipal Chamber, is currently under temporary arrest as part of Operation Vectura Corrupta. This investigation is examining the alleged infiltration of the First Capital Command (PCC) criminal faction into the city's public transport system, specifically through bus companies like Transwolff.
Following his arrest, a political office in Santo Amaro linked to Leite was burglarized on a Sunday night. Criminals entered the premises, ransacked documents, and stole a DVR containing security camera footage. Notably, the intruders left behind approximately R$ 19,000 in cash found at the scene. Authorities are investigating whether the theft was intended to destroy evidence related to the ongoing corruption probe.
Leite has denied any connection to the PCC or Transwolff, asserting his innocence. His defense has filed a habeas corpus petition with the Superior Court of Justice to overturn his detention. While the office theft was not a planned target of Operation Vectura Corrupta, investigators are looking for links between the burglary and the broader criminal investigation.
