Brazil police seize dozens of firearms from ex-BRB CEO in corruption probe

Federal Police arrested former Banco de Brasília CEO Paulo Henrique Costa on April 16, seizing dozens of firearms and thousands of rounds from his apartment. The arrest is part of a broader investigation, and details emerged after Supreme Court Minister André Mendonça lifted secrecy. The firearms collection, though legally registered, raised operational risks for police, highlighting potential security concerns in a high-profile corruption case.
