Alexandre Ceotto

Alexandre Ceotto, a 50-year-old businessman, recently made headlines after surrendering to the police in Rio de Janeiro following nine months as a fugitive. He is accused of masterminding a high-profile burglary at a luxury apart-hotel in Niterói, which involved a well-planned execution by his accomplice, a criminal lawyer. The theft, described as 'cinematic,' occurred when valuable items, including luxury watches, were stolen from an apartment believed to contain a substantial amount of cash. Ceotto's involvement in the crime and his political aspirations, including a candidacy for vice-mayor in 2020 and a potential run for mayor in 2024, have drawn significant media attention.
