THE ASSOCIATED PRESS RIO DE JANEIRO — Aug 4, 2019, 5:30 PM

A Brazilian gang leader tried to escape from prison by dressing up as his daughter when she visited him behind bars and walking out the penitentiary's main door in her place, authorities said Sunday.

But prison officials said the nervousness displayed by Clauvino da Silva, also known as "Shorty," as he tried to leave the prison in the western part of Rio de Janeiro dressed as a woman gave him away.

His plan was apparently to leave his 19-year-old daughter inside the jail. Police are looking into her possible role as an accomplice in Saturday's failed escape attempt from Gericinó prison.

Rio's State Secretary of Prison Administration released photos showing da Silva in a silicon girl's mask and long dark-haired wig, wearing tight jeans and a pink shirt with a cartoon image of donuts. They also released a video in which da Silva can be seen removing the mask and some of the clothes, and saying his full name.

Authorities say da Silva was part of the leadership of the Red Command, one of the most powerful criminal groups in Brazil that controlled drug trafficking in a large part of Rio.

After the failed escape bid, da Silva was transferred to a unit of a maximum-security prison and will face disciplinary sanctions, officials said.

How the fuck did he convince his daughter to take part in this? Does the daughter not realize that she would literally be arrested immediately as an accomplice?

He "committed suicide".

Probably from embarrassment

Brazil is a totally another planet, you can’t understand these people, they murder each other because of small things, that’s why they get homicide numbers more than all Europe, Russia, USA, Canada, China, parts of Mena combined.

Sweden will get there too.

High birth rate in the past and disorderly increase in cities explains our high crime.

Sweden has 1 murder for 100,000 inhabitants. Brazil is at 26 per 100,000.
