Original: coronel

A lieutenant colonel of the Bahia Military Police has been arrested on suspicion of involvement in an armed militia, with reports alleging he received around R$286,000 in militia-related payments. The case adds to a string of scandals involving senior police officers, as a separate colonel charged with the femicide of a soldier seeks release, drawing reaction from prosecutors in São Paulo.

Why now: News of a senior military police officer's arrest for militia involvement is drawing attention amid broader concerns about police corruption in Brazil.
