Born 51 years ago, he gained notoriety for his involvement in organized crime and was apprehended in Paraguay in 2017 after evading Brazilian authorities since 2012. Piloto was previously convicted for homicide and faced allegations of orchestrating the murder of a young Paraguayan woman, Lidia Meza Burgos, in an attempt to delay his extradition to Brazil. Recently, a Brazilian court upheld and increased his sentence, reflecting the severity of his crimes and his negative personality traits as assessed by the judiciary.
