FULL TEXT: Jasiane Silva Teixeira has been arrested on
suspicion of leading a murderous gang in Bahia, Brazil.
A suspected drug lord accused of ordering the deaths of more
than 100 people has been arrested in Brazil.
Jasiane Silva Teixeira, 31, believed by authorities to be
the biggest drug trafficker in the state of Bahia, is also said to have bought
machine guns and grenades for her fearsome army.
She was arrested in a restaurant in the town of Biritiba
Mirim in the state of Sao Paulo.
According to local media reports, she was wanted for
robbery, drug trafficking, corrupting minors, arms trafficking and forgery.
Reports state the Secretary of Public Safety suspect her of
having ordered the murder of over 100 people.
She was among the most-wanted people in Bahia, with one of
her victims allegedly including a correctional officer, who died in Jerique
prison in 2009.
Investigators believe Teixeira provided the murder weapon to
her partner, Bruno de Jesus Camilo, who was serving time for drug trafficking
in the prison at the time.
She allegedly took control of Camilo's drug trafficking
operation after his death in 2014.
Teixeira allegedly worked with other drug traffickers from
Rio de Janeiro to take control of drug trafficking in the south-east of the
state of Bahia and in the neighbouring state of Minas Gerais.
Last year a plane was stopped by police in the town of
Vitoria da Conquista in Bahia.
It was reportedly used to transport drugs and arms from
Bolivia, Venezuela, Colombia and Peru.
Three men were arrested at the time.
She will be taken to the state of Bahia to be charged.

FULL TEXT (Auto-translated): Jasiane Silva Teixiera,30 years
old, the Queen of Hearts from the Bahia State Department of Public Security,
known in the criminal world as “Dona Maria,” was arrested Wednesday, September
25, 2019, in Biritiba Mirim, in the Metropolitan Area of São Paulo,
by teams from the Task Force formed by investigates from the Department of
Intelligence (DIP), Department of Repression and Combat of Organized Crime
(Draco) and the 9th and 10th Coordination of Civil Police
of the Interior, based in Jeqié and Vitória de Conquered, respectively, with
the support of the Narcotics Investigation Police Station (Dise) in Mogi das
Cruzes (SP). The Intelligence Superintendence of the Bahia State Secretariat for
Public Security had an effective participation in the investigations that
culminated in the location of the trafficker at the time of the police approach.
Stepdaughter of the most dangerous drug dealers in the Southwest
region of the state, Antonilton de Jesus Martines, known as Nenzão,
in 2008 Jasaine Teixeira was arrested for the first time, in the act, in the
company of the stepfather’s companion and nephew, Bruno de Jesus Camilo, by the
Civil Police of Victória da Conquista, for drug trafficking and illegal possession
of weapons.
In 2009, already at liberty. Jasiane Teixieira provided the
weapons and provided logistical support for the fulfilment of an order given by
her companion, who was incarcerated in the Jequié Penal Complex, for the murder
of a prison guard Luciano Caribé Cerqueira. The crime was consummated on
December 16, 2010, when the public servant arrived at his residence, on Travessa
Maria Eça. Barrio Caixa D’Água. The perpetrators of the crime were persecuted
and ended up in confrontation with the police. Pezão was even transferred
to the Serrinha Penal Complex, after disagreements with rivals.
After serving his sentence, Bruno de Jesus Camilo (Pezão)
moved, along with Jasiane Teixeira, to the south of the state, where they
continued to command the distribution and sale of drugs in the Southwest
region, in addition to ordering the execution of rivals in the dispute for
territories.
In 2014, during ‘Operation Sasquatch,’ investigators from
the Homicide Precinct of the 10th Civil Police Coordination of the
interior based in Vitória da Conquista, held on June 6, in the city of Porto
Seguro, Bruno de Jesus Camilo (Pezão) resisted arrest and was killed
in the confrontation.
Dona Maria was present at the scene of the confrontation in
which her companion died, but managed to escape and allied herself with a trafficker
from the Bonde do Maluco faction, the Bahia branch of the PCC (Primeiro
Commando da Capital), known as Paulo TG. Ambitious, Dona Maria also joined
smaller groups in closing deals for the supply of drugs and weapons, in
addition to making lawyers available 24 hours a day to act in the defense of
her partners. Under the agreement, Dona Maria would keep most of the profit
from the sale of the drugs.
Upon assuming command of drug sales in the Southwest region,
with ramifications in the North and Minas Gerais and in São
Paulo, Jasiane Teixeira (Dona Maria) began to act with more ruthlessness than
her stepfather and, later, her partner, ordering the murder of rivals in criminal
actions that did not spare even people who were not targets of criminal acts,
but would be in the places determined for the executions.
In February 2017, Jasiane Teixieira (Dona Maria) was
included in the Baralho do Crime, a tool created in 2011 by the State
Secretariat for Public Safety of Bahia to identify the most dangerous criminals
escaping from justice, inserted as the “Queen of Hearts” card.
In 2018, Jasiane Teixeira (Dona Maria), suffered a severe
setback when civil police officers assigned to the 10th Civil Police
Coordination of the of the Interior seized, in Victória da Conquista, an aircraft that
was used by the criminal organization she commanded to transport drugs and
weapons from Bolivia, Venezuela, Colombia and Peru.
With the siege tightening, Jasiane Teixeira left the state
and would be living as man and wife with Márcio Maria dos Santos, Marcio
Carioca, the financial arm of the PCC in Leste Paulista.
The work of the Intelligence Superintendence of the Bahia
State Secretariat for Public Security and the Intelligence Department of the 10th
Civil Police Coordination of the Interior traced the steps of Jasaine Teixeira,
who was living in Sáo Paulo, from where she continued to command the criminal
organization in the Southwest region of Bahia, with false documents in the name
of Débora
Silva Dias, and on Wednesday, the 25th, civil police officers from
the 9th and 10th Civil Police Coordination of the
Interior, with the support of civil police officers from Sáo Paulo,
carried out the arrest warrants, issued by the Court against Jasiane Teixeira
in Biritiba Mirim, in the micro-region of Mogi das Cruzes, in Greater Sáo Paulo.
She was captured in the company of her partner, Mário Faria dos Santos (Mário
Carioca).
Two arrest warrants were served against Jasiane Teixeira for
conviction for drug trafficking, association for drug trafficking and
possession of weapons and for qualified homicide, in addition to two other
arrest warrants for drug trafficking and association for drug trafficking.
Jasiane Teixeira is to be returned, under high security, on
Thursday, September 26, to Vitória da Conquista, where he will be
held in custody at the Penal Complex at the disposal of Justice.
