Brazil arrests suspected mastermind in murder of Paraguayan prosecutor

Brazil federal police said they arrested a suspect on Friday they believe to be behind the murder of a Paraguayan anti-mafia prosecutor in Colombia last year. The suspect was identified by Paraguay police as Miguel Angel Insfran Galeano.

The suspect was apprehended on Thursday in Recreio dos Bandeirantes, a neighborhood in the West Zone of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil federal police said.

Last year, Colombia President Gustavo Petro said Insfran and Uruguayan Sebastian Marset, who is currently on the run, were suspected of being the murder masterminds.
