Two political strongmen from Rio de Janeiro known for defending the interests of paramilitary criminal groups, brothers Domingos and Joao Francisco Chiquinho Brazao, were convicted on Wednesday for ordering the murder of Marielle Franco, a 38-year-old left-wing city councilor, in 2018. The presiding judge said that it was a political crime in which misogyny and racism also played a role.
