Rafael Scucato, a 47‑year‑old publicist and president of the Legion Bikers motorcyclist club, was killed in a traffic accident on the BR‑153 highway near a Polícia Rodoviária Federal post in Hidrolândia, Goiás, on 4 August. According to witnesses, oil on the road caused him to lose control of his motorcycle, after which a truck struck him. He was returning from a funeral in Goiânia when the collision occurred. The Federal Highway Police isolated the scene for forensic investigation, and authorities will examine the exact causes of the crash.

Scucato was the son‑in‑law of federal deputy Magda Mofatto (PRD‑GO). The deputy expressed deep sorrow and thanked supporters for their messages. The Legion Bikers announced a five‑day period of mourning, and television host Ana Maria Braga publicly honored Scucato during her program, recalling a two‑decade friendship.
