Brazil’s Notorious Drug Trafficker Arrested in Budapest
In a significant development, one of Brazil’s most notorious drug traffickers, Sergio Roberto Carvalho, has been apprehended in Budapest. Carvalho, often referred to as the ‘Brazilian Escobar’, was initially arrested in 2018 for smuggling a staggering 1,700kg of cocaine into Spain.
Mastermind Fakes Death to Evade Justice
In a dramatic turn of events, Carvalho managed to evade the clutches of justice by faking his own death from Covid-19 during the pandemic lockdown. He successfully duped a Marbella court into accepting a counterfeit death certificate, thereby escaping the legal consequences of his actions.
Wanted by Portuguese Authorities
The criminal mastermind has been on the radar of the Portuguese authorities since 2020. It is speculated that he has spent the last few years traversing Europe under various false identities, thereby managing to stay one step ahead of the law enforcement agencies.
Former Military Man Now One of the Most Wanted
Carvalho, a former military man, is considered one of the most wanted men globally. His arrest in Hungary comes two years after he staged his death on Spain’s Costa del Sol, marking the end of his run from the law.
