MC Poze do Rodo Bound and Beaten in Targeted Home Invasion at Rio Mansion

Investigators are analyzing video and fingerprints to identify a masked crew behind the planned raid.

Overview

  • His mansion, which was breached around 2:30 a.m. Tuesday, saw the singer tied up and punched and kicked while friends were held at gunpoint by men with rifles and pistols.
  • Police say the intruders came through a wooded area behind the property, used a ladder to climb a wall, and turned or damaged cameras after smashing a phone that controlled the system.
  • The gang fled with about R$ 2 million in jewelry plus R$ 15,000 in cash, along with phones, watches, clothes and perfume, according to the artist’s account to police.
  • Detectives from the 42nd precinct retraced the entry route and sent a ladder, a phone screen film and a pair of glasses for fingerprint tests as they review security footage that recorded part of the break‑in.
  • Authorities have not named suspects or a motive, and while the assailants claimed to act on orders from drug bosses, one attacker also filmed the beating, giving police new digital evidence to examine.
