The capture of a Wanted Drug Dealer Despite Plastic Surgery and a New Identity

Brazil’s “Bileno” was apprehended in a resort region two years after he escaped from prison with a New Identity.

CAUCAIA, Brazil — After two years on the run, a dangerous Brazilian drug dealer who had changed his face and acquired a New identity has finally been apprehended.

 

Lenon Oliveira do Carmo, 39, was taken into custody on October 17 in Caucaia, an affluent neighborhood located in the Brazilian state of Ceara’s northeastern region.

After being apprehended by law enforcement for the final time in 2018, Bileno was moved from the state jail system in July of that year and was detained in the city of Mossoró, the Rio Grande do Norte, for a period of four months. Later on, he was granted permission to return to the state of Amazonas while under house arrest; however, after he got back there, he removed his electronic monitoring anklet and ran away.

The felon undertook plastic surgery on his face and got a New identity while he was on the run from the law. His new name is Aylon Soares Cardoso. In Caucasia, he and his family enjoyed an extravagant lifestyle close to the ocean. During the time that he was missing, the police regarded him as a “very dangerous” suspect.

After a three-month investigation, the fugitive known as “Bileno” was apprehended in a joint operation that was carried out by the Secretariat of Public Security for the State of Amazonas, the Department of Narcotics Investigation, and the Civil Police of Ceará, and the Civil Police of Amazonas. He is currently facing charges that may land him in prison for almost 60 years, including homicide, drug trafficking, and burglary.

According to the authorities, Bileno was a member of a criminal gang in Manaus and assumed a leadership role in a criminal organization operating out of Rio de Janeiro in the year 2017. During the period that he was incarcerated at the Anisio Jobim Penitentiary Complex in Manaus, he took part in the riots that occurred on January 1 between two competing drug gangs. These riots resulted in the deaths of 56 inmates.

When Bileno was in Manaus, he commanded an armed militia. In addition to that, he established a social club for those who dealt drugs, and he even rerouted a river so that it could be used as a swimming hole. According to the local police, the location was likely utilized by the dealers as a meeting place.

Despite the fact that in 2005 Brazil implemented a National Drug Policy with the goals of preventing and treating drug misuse, drug use is still a serious concern in the country. The number of people who died as a direct result of their usage of drugs in this country rose by an alarming 60 percent between the years 2000 and 2015. Marijuana is the most often used illegal drug in Brazil, followed by cocaine as the drug with the second-highest consumption.

Due to the fact that Brazil is an integral element of the international drug trade, a significant proportion of criminal activity in the country may be traced back to the distribution of illegal drugs. In Brazil, the number of people sentenced to prison for drug-related offenses rose by 123 percent between 2007 and 2012, with 27 percent of those sentenced to prison being convicted under drug trafficking charges by the end of the same year.
