Eight Fugitives Still at Large 🚨

The Secretaria da Justiça e da Cidadania has emphasized that public cooperation remains crucial for locating these individuals. Authorities continue to monitor potential hideouts and are coordinating efforts across multiple jurisdictions.

Background: The Natal Leave Program

The temporary leave program was authorized by the Roraima Justice System for the 2025 Christmas period. A total of 669 detainees serving sentences in semi-open regimes across the state's prison units were granted permission to leave facilities temporarily.

Under semi-open regime regulations, inmates are allowed to work and participate in community activities during the day but must return to prison facilities at night. The holiday leave program extended this privilege for the Christmas period, requiring all participants to return to their respective units by a court-established deadline.

When the deadline passed, twelve inmates had not returned to custody, triggering an immediate search operation. The Sejuc confirmed that those who failed to return were officially classified as fugitives, prompting coordinated recapture efforts by law enforcement agencies.

Public Assistance and Contact Information

The Secretaria da Justiça e da Cidadania continues to appeal to the public for assistance in locating the remaining eight fugitives. Citizens can provide information anonymously through dedicated channels established by the Divisão de Segurança e Captura (Dicap).

Authorities have provided a specific contact method for tips:

WhatsApp: (95) 99131-4165
Service: Anonymous tips for fugitive location
Agency: Division of Security and Capture (Dicap)

The Sejuc reiterated that public collaboration remains essential for the successful conclusion of this operation. All information provided will be processed confidentially to ensure the safety of informants and the effectiveness of ongoing search efforts.
