Trial begins of Brazil politicians accused of ordering lawmakers murder
The trial of two politicians accused of ordering the murder of Rio de Janeiro councilwoman Marielle Franco has begun in Brazil. Franco, a black, lesbian activist who grew up in a favela and became an outspoken critic of Rio’s powerful militia groups, was 38 when she was gunned down in the city center in 2018. The two former military police officers who carried out the murders were given hefty jail terms in 2024.
