Part 3/6:
The violence is believed to have been premeditated, with fan groups allegedly coordinating through social media platforms, including WhatsApp and Telegram. Prior warnings indicated a high possibility of conflict, yet preventive actions may not have been sufficiently robust to avert the situation. The ensuing chaos resulted in a “brutal battle” that saw involvement from groups not necessarily representing the clubs but rather criminal elements misusing the soccer setting to engage in violent behavior.
Law enforcement agencies took several individuals into custody across locations such as Paulista and Cabo de Santo Agostinho, underscoring the widespread nature of the disturbances.
