Investigators served two search warrants against Renan, one in Balneário Camboriú (SC), where he lives, and another in Brasília.

The Civil Police said that, in the Federal District, "the orders were carried out in Águas Claras and in the Southwest, to the detriment of the main target and two accomplices".

One of the " accomplices " would be Jair Renan, according to investigations. A cell phone, a computer HD, and some papers with notes were seized at the addresses linked to him.

The police arrested the mastermind of the scheme and tried to capture a second person involved, who had his arrest ordered, but who was still on the run late this Thursday afternoon (24).

This second person, according to the district corporation, was also wanted for the crime of homicide in the Federal District.

Jair Renan's defense stated that he was "surprised" by the operation, but "absolutely calm about what happened".
