Brazilian federal police on Friday arrested the attorney general of the northern state of Roraima, Luciano Alves de Queiroz, and seven other people allegedly involved in a pedophilic racket.
The other suspects are a state police major, a regional electoral court employee, two entrepreneurs, two drug dealers and the mother of one of the abused children.
Police said Major Raimundo Gomes was the leader of a pedophilic network, which had the arrested attorney general, entrepreneurs and politicians as its clients in Roraima. The drug dealers were charged with providing drugs to the kids involved.
The accused sexually exploited girls aged from six to 14, said a report released by the child care authorities of Boa Vista, Roraima's capital city.
State Governor Jose Anchieta Jr. said he regretted and deplored the alleged participation of the attorney general in the network, adding that De Queiroz and Major Gomes would be dismissed from their positions if the charges are confirmed.
