In late September 2026, Councilman Wesley Cláudio and his family were victims of a violent home invasion and torture in Rondonópolis, Mato Grosso. During the early hours of September 28, the councilman, his wife, and their two children were held captive for several hours while criminals searched for valuables. The councilman sustained serious injuries, including a wound to his head and a partially severed ear, while his wife suffered assaults and attempts at strangulation.

Following the incident, state security forces conducted integrated operations to locate the perpetrators. By mid-October, the Civil Police indicted two suspects: a 24-year-old woman arrested for providing logistical support and a 20-year-old man indicted for robbery and torture. After a period of recovery, Councilman Cláudio has returned to his duties at the Municipal Chamber, and his family has relocated for safety.
