Rio councilor Jorge Canella arrested in PF raid for restricted weapons

Federal Police arrested Rio de Janeiro councilor Jorge Canella in flagrante for illegal possession of restricted firearms, seizing two rifles and a submachine gun at his Barra da Tijuca residence. The arrest stems from an investigation that previously netted former Belford Roxo mayor Márcio Canella in July, indicating a broader crackdown on political figures linked to illegal weapons. The case underscores law enforcement focus on political corruption and arms possession in Brazil.
