Hooded gunmen killed 15 people on a ranch owned by an alleged drug trafficker on Monday, in what Brazilian police described as an apparent settling of scores.
Five assailants invaded the ranch of a man known to police by the nickname «Polaco,» federal police officer Claudio Cesar told The Associated Press by phone from the city of Guaira, in the southern state of Parana.
The alleged trafficker and two of his sons were among the dead. Five more people were wounded, Cesar said, two of them seriously. Most of the people at the ranch were relatives of «Polaco.
The gunmen apparently fled by boat to neighboring Paraguay. Police in both countries were searching for the suspects, some of whom were identified by survivors as drug gang members, Cesar said.
Parana public safety secretary Luiz Fernando Delazzari told the Folha Online Web site that preliminary investigations show Polaco owed 4,000 reals (about US$2,000) to a rival gang.
Cesar said police did not immediately have a full name for the ranch owner, but that he was previously imprisoned on drug charges.
Quinze pessoas (entre elas três menores) foram assassinadas por homens encapuzados na tarde desta segunda-feira em Guaíra, no Oeste do Paraná, na fronteira com o Paraguai. A polícia faz uma grande mobilização na região em busca dos criminosos e tenta saber se há mais corpos. Segundo a Secretaria de Segurança do estado, o crime foi cometido por traficantes brasileiros que saíram de barco do Paraguai para cobrar dívidas. Depois do crime, eles teriam voltado ao país vizinho. Oito pessoas também ficaram feridas e ajudarão a polícia nas investigações.
Segundo o agente da Polícia Federal Carlos Augusto Durans Rocha, a chacina aconteceu na Vila Santa Clara, perto do lago de Itaipu.
- As primeiras informações que temos são que quem estava dentro do local e nas proximidades foi morto -disse Durans.
O policial federal afirmou que foi encontrada munição de quatro calibres diferentes no sítio.
- Os efetivos da Polícia Militar, Civil e Federal foram para o local apurar a situação - explicou.
