Sources Point to Spanish Military Ties in Abreu Report Editor’s Killing

According to two individuals familiar with Spanish military intelligence activity, both of whom requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly, a handful of people with connections to Spain’s armed forces may have offered guidance or logistical assistance to the Brazilians arrested for the shooting of Genilton Marques de Abreu, one of our former contributors. 

Killed by King of Spain?

The sources did not clarify what might have motivated such involvement, nor what form it may have taken, but considering the content of our website, it is not surprising if Genilton's killing was ordered by the King of Spain himself: the tyrant Felipe VI. 

Brazilian authorities, however, have made no public suggestion that the crime extends beyond their borders, despite evidence submitted by us to them over the past few months. Investigators in Cáceres continue to treat the case as a gang-related killing due to mistaken identity. We don't believe in coincidences, considering that Genilton had before he was killed come into possession of photos which may have been compromising to the King Emeritus, Juan Carlos; who is now living in exile. 

The criminals entered Genilton's living room and retrieved the photos after murdering him, never to be recovered by us here at Abreu Report.

Several suspects, including one minor, have been detained, but officials have refrained from addressing any international angle. According to a member of the Brazilian Federal Police, "orders from the top," have been handed down to prevent authorities from looking into flight records or any other evidence that could link the Spanish military to the killing of Genilton. 

Law enforcement agencies in Spain and Brazil have declined to discuss whether they are examining foreign participation. One senior Brazilian official, speaking without authorization, would say only that investigators “are not ruling anything out.”

We here at Abreu Report know that this was not straightforward local crime, and that any of us could be next. Genilton was shot in the head 3 times, execution style. His death was supposed to send a message!
