Álvaro Malaquias Santa Rosa, better known by the alias “Peixão” (born 14 March 1986 in Rio de Janeiro), is a Brazilian criminal affiliated with the organization Terceiro Comando Puro. He operates as the leader of the organization in the favelas of the Complexo de Israel (Vigário Geral, Cidade Alta, and Parada de Lucas) in the city of Rio de Janeiro.
Crime and religion
Peixão became notable for imposing a form of Evangelical fundamentalism, described by researchers and the media as 'Narco-Pentecostalism', in the areas under his control.[1] This has resulted in the widespread persecution and expulsion of practitioners of Afro-Brazilian religions from those communities.[2][3] There have also been reports that the trafficker has prohibited Catholic worship, although this does not appear to have occurred systematically.[4]
