Wesley Cláudio family targeted in violent home invasion in Rondonópolis

Councilman Wesley Cláudio and his family were victims of a violent home invasion and torture in Rondonópolis, Brazil. Armed criminals entered the residence between midnight and 1:00 AM, demanding R$ 1 million. When the councilman stated he did not have the money, the suspects subjected the family to physical and psychological torture.

During the attack, the councilman suffered a cut to his right ear and blows to the head. His wife was assaulted and reportedly strangled twice, nearly losing consciousness. The suspects also threatened to mutilate the couple's 8-year-old son. The criminals reportedly monitored the family's routine for three days and conducted a video call during the robbery to receive instructions from a remote individual.

The attackers fled the scene in a white Volkswagen Polo, which is a vehicle used by the City Council, and stole approximately R$ 40,000 in cash, jewelry, and electronics. The Rondonópolis City Council issued a statement of solidarity, and the Mayor, Cláudio Ferreira, characterized the incident as a political attack. Police investigations are ongoing to identify the suspects and determine the motive.
