The fifth phase of Operation Unha e Carne, led by the Federal Police, targets former state deputy Rodrigo Bacellar (União-RJ) alongside a pastor and the son of former governor Sérgio Cabral. The operation investigates connections between public agents and organized crime, including the 'Cigarette Mafia' and the Comando Vermelho (CV). Bacellar, already imprisoned since March for alleged disclosure of police operations' confidential information to the CV, remains under investigation. The operation resulted in the arrest of Pastor Marcio Poncio, along with search warrants executed against ex-deputy Marco Antônio Cabral (Solidariedade-RJ) and contravertor Adilson Oliveira Coutinho Filho, known as 'Adilsinho,' who was already incarcerated. The Federal Police allege a scheme involving payments related to lottery games and the 'Cigarette Mafia' to public agents, based on documents seized during previous investigations. The operation is part of measures ordered by the Supreme Federal Court (STF) in the ADPF 635 case, focusing on criminal groups operating in Rio de Janeiro.
