Santo Amaro, Bahia — A man known locally as “Galego do Polivalente” was violently assaulted by members of the criminal faction Bonde do Maluco (BDM) in the Alto do São Francisco neighborhood of Santo Amaro. The incident, captured on video and widely circulated on social media, shows the victim being subjected to a brutal beating in what authorities describe as a “criminal tribunal”—a practice used by gangs to enforce internal rules through violent punishment.
Details of the Attack
The video, filmed by the perpetrators themselves, shows Galego being repeatedly struck and kicked by multiple assailants. According to local sources, the attack was carried out as retribution for alleged robberies committed by the victim without authorization from the gang.
Victim’s Background
Galego, identified as a drug user with a history of criminal offenses, had previously been detained by residents at the municipal market after being caught stealing. On that occasion, he was restrained until authorities arrived.
Investigation Underway
The Civil Police have launched an investigation to verify the authenticity of the video and determine the full circumstances surrounding the attack. No arrests have been made thus far.
Criminal Tribunals: A Common Practice
The “criminal tribunal” is a tactic employed by factions like BDM to maintain control and impose order through extreme violence. Such incidents highlight the ongoing challenges faced by law enforcement in combating organized crime in the region.
