Brazil police anti‑crime operations

Entities: S.A.S. · 19th Battalion (Polícia Militar) · Polícia Militar do Pará · Eduardo (suspect) · 19th Battalion (Pará Military Police)

Overview

In late July 2026 Brazil’s Federal Police intensified a multi‑agency crackdown in Pará after the killing of reserve sergeant Antonio Anildo Alves. The operation, dubbed Operação Replay, involved the Military Police, Civil Police, CORE, CIME and Draco, resulting in four armed suspects killed in shoot‑outs and a fifth dying later. A teenage suspect (initials S.A.S.) was detained, and a weapons supplier, Eduardo, was eliminated. Seizures included pistol magazines, revolvers, ammunition, marijuana, cash, a motorcycle, a precision balance and electronic devices used as a front.

The raid also led to the arrest of social‑media influencer Evellyn Braga on 30 July 2026, accused of providing logistical support to the gunmen. Mobile‑phone data from the seized devices linked her to the network, confirming five arrests in total. Following the high‑profile arrest, Braga’s Instagram following surged by more than 5 000, pushing her total above 22 000 within days.

Authorities indicated the operation is part of a broader probe into the Comando Vermelho’s financial structure, reflecting an intensified police response to organized crime and armed violence in Brazil.
