found. but brazil has a new government elected with the backing of the security forces might yell a support is fear this may undermine the investigation this is not a lot of back and forth arianrhod oh i think that it's both and if it effects right people memory alive the big question is whether it's not going to start that serious about finding her and if not then why. oh my oh it's been nearly a year since madea was killed and several official investigations by rios state and brazil's federal authorities on the way. money ellis assassination has begun to reveal troubling connections between security corruption and politics and we want to take a closer look at what efforts steel sora teams are making to find her killer.

we begin by following up on speculations that members of the military police assassinated mariella that she was being punished for criticizing the way they carry out their operations against drug gangs in the favelas. one such operation took place on june 20th 2018 in muddy the favela that mariella came from . the police came in by air firing killing a 14 year old boy mark has been a serious. brunette a silver his mother told us that marcus and his friend and he could live running late for school started when the show got him off and when. i show what boredom or good little meal for you the boys to cover the coming hours they faced an armored car one very real awake and god was there again bought. them up on

a woman along with a bunch of archaeology. marcus was just one of the nearly 1400 people killed by real security forces in 28 teams. up or do so i answered i think they are well off as buyers and chained up when i reach them up on the rules. to be out of breaking news before they will say order which will be other. they're not going to listen i'm a lawyer i help bruno investigate the websites oh no she says it was mary ellen who taught money as women to challenge such injustices which is a shot of the same as a rabbit outside before they were. milked my beloved they watch the aren't you going to have a born also streamers boy still some are my age my dad was a light bulb from a bank up as a shield. out. no

voice. no we'll know you. for. all. of us about what but only because it does. these kind of to his legacy she wanted my residence to be proud. not all of. my colleagues. i mean. the communities mistrust of the police is understandable but to date no evidence has emerged to support the theory that the police killed marianas. instead all official investigations are focusing on more sinister groups rio's

quite. secret paramilitary organizations known as militias. they have been formed by members of the security forces who felt that working within the constraints of the law was too limiting heavily armed they've taken the fight against the drug gangs into their own hands many militias have close links with politicians and some politicians even employ their services. in rios west zone the militias control entire neighborhoods forcing residents to pay not just for security but for gas cable t.v. and transport too. according to a homicide police investigation of west's own militia commander has been lending his deadly services to a local politician. we're following the footsteps of

a man who's actually accused of ordering the killing of mariella franco he's a councilman and a real estate developer and he's heavily invested in these areas. his name is muscle. and he's agreed to meet us in his sports club in ga daniel another area firmly under militia control. this club used to be run by a political opponent but sicilian or took it over. and his assistants have organized the community thank you party that just happens to coincide with our visit. with him in. the homicide police have build

a case against. based on a witness who said he heard the councilman order the militia to kill. the motive so this theory goes is that sicilian wanted to stop mariella from educating residents about the housing rights in communities where he has construction interests. but the witness has been discredited and seattle insists that he's being framed. this. doesn't mean. you. think they'll get your game going to change. this scene look at the beast that. will get him he claims a political opponent is using the allegations to undermine him if you watch. his play you don't. you think if we. had died.
