Brazil Lists 336 Feminicide Fugitives as Federal Police Detain 5 Deported Suspects at Confins

Overview

• A g1 analysis of BNMP/CNJ data identifies 336 men with outstanding arrest warrants for feminicide or attempted feminicide in cases recorded from the late 1990s through 2023.
• Most warrants are preventive arrests (260), with additional orders for recapture, temporary detention, post‑sentence preventive arrests, definitive convictions and final prison orders.
• The fugitives are spread across 25 states, concentrated in São Paulo, Bahia (32 pending), Maranhão and Pará, underscoring a nationwide enforcement backlog.
• Jurists and police cited by g1 say the chief obstacle is not identifying suspects but carrying out arrests, with documented cases of convicts fleeing, removing electronic monitors or disappearing after regime progression.
• On Feb. 5–6, the Federal Police arrested five Brazilians deported from the U.S. upon arrival at Confins airport — three listed via Interpol and a woman wanted by the Supreme Court over the Jan. 8, 2023 attacks — and transferred them to the prison system.
