Civilian police officers from the Federal District arrested, today (5), shooting instructor and digital influencer Maciel Carvalho, suspected of using false documents to sell weapons and hide his participation in companies. According to the Civil Police, Carvalho is a member of a shooting club and a weapons store that operate in the federal capital. With the authorization of the Justice, police officers carried out search and seizure warrants at commercial establishments and at the instructor’s home. According to the Civil Police, Carvalho was arrested in flagrante delicto for possessing and illegally selling firearms. The police officers who participate in the operation called False Coach (False Coach) also seized weapons, ammunition, cell phones, computers and documents that they believe can help in the investigations. Carvalho was already serving a sentence on provisional release and resorted to false documents to hide his criminal record, including to obtain registration as a collector, sport shooter and hunter (CAC), says the Civil Police. “With this registration, he acquired weapons and started to teach weapons and shooting courses, using social networks to attract customers”, said the coordinator of the Special Operations Division (DOE), delegate Wisllei Salomão, in a video released by the Civil Police itself. Without informing which crime the instructor was already responding to on provisional release, the Civil Police states that he will now also respond for the crimes of document forgery, embezzlement, criminal organization, embezzlement, money laundering, active corruption, use of false documents and shooting fire gun. “The person charged could be sentenced to up to 19 years in prison for the crimes committed”, added Salomão, noting that, in addition to using social networks to attract students to his courses, Carvalho also took advantage of the fact that he had many followers to sell weapons. In a single social network, the instructor has 430,000 followers. The report tried to contact the company where Carvalho is a partner, but was not answered. So far, the report has not been able to identify the instructor’s lawyer.
