Fontes was the former general delegate of the São Paulo Civil Police, known for his pivotal role in uncovering and dismantling the First Command of the Capital (PCC), a powerful criminal organization in Brazil. During his tenure from 2019 to 2022, he led several key departments, including the Department of Criminal Investigations and the Department of Homicide and Protection of Persons. Despite a long career without receiving threats from organized crime, Fontes expressed concerns for his safety in retirement, particularly living in an area dominated by PCC influences. Tragically, he was executed in Praia Grande while driving, highlighting the ongoing dangers faced by law enforcement officials in Brazil.
