Paraná police video scandal

Overview

In late July 2026, a state deputy in Paraná filed a formal complaint alleging that a private Telegram channel, promoted on Instagram, was selling monthly subscriptions for videos that appeared to show torture, beatings and deaths linked to the Paraná Military Police. The complaint called for urgent preservation of digital evidence and a priority investigation.

A few days later, authorities announced a joint investigation after an Instagram account with nearly 23,000 followers posted graphic footage of police‑related violence and directed viewers to the same Telegram channel, where access was sold via Pix payments. Investigators identified a 22‑year‑old operator with no police ties to the force and began probing the involvement of officers whose faces were blurred in the videos. The investigation treats the scheme as a serious breach of law and human dignity, with any police participation subject to prosecution.
