Avelino Gonçalves Lima

Avelino Gonçalves Lima, also known as Alvim or Vilão, is identified as the principal leader of the criminal faction Povo de Israel in Rio de Janeiro. With a criminal history that includes convictions for homicide, robbery, and sexual assault, he has been instrumental in the faction's operations, particularly in prisons. Alvim is suspected of coordinating drug trafficking and implementing recruitment strategies that echo those of the Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC). His influence within the prison system is significant, as he allegedly authorized the initiation of new members into the PCC while incarcerated. His activities have drawn the attention of law enforcement, especially during recent operations aimed at curbing the expansion of the Povo de Israel.
