The driver was driving the Viação Palmares bus, when he was attacked in Largo do Arão, in Santa Cruz, on Monday (23). “Unfortunately, this happened. Yesterday [segunda, 23], we had no news of any victims. There was this occurrence. We are very sorry. And it reflects the absurdity that happens in our city. Bus workers go to work in complete insecurity. Today, we are having difficulty serving the population well when returning home. Drivers serving the Santa Cruz region are afraid of threats from criminals. The situation is difficult, even more so given this case of the driver who was burned,” said Paulo Valente, spokesman for Rio Ônibus. Paulo Valente said that 21 of the 35 buses burned were from the city of Rio. There is also information about a collective being targeted by gunshots. The loss was estimated at R$ 35 million. The criminal actions were recorded after the death of militiaman Matheus Rezende, better known as Faustão, who was Zinho’s nephew and considered second in the hierarchy of the group that operates in the west zone.
