Brazil's Mishi: World's largest meat company is linked to the brutal massacre of humans

Reporter Brasil's report comes after JBS is facing increasing pressure on transparency failures for its livestock supply chain in the Amazon.

On April 19, 2017, nine men were brutally murdered in what became known as the <x0masacre Colnise”. The men were taken to remote parts of a forest land in Mato Grosso, where their bodies were found, according to court documents. Some of these troops had had marks of torture, several others of the slaughter, while the remainder had been shot, writes The Guardian, translated into Albanian Periscopi.

According to charges by state prosecutors at Mato Grosso, the massacre was committed by a gang known as “kapucares”. The goal, they said, was to intimidate local residents, take over the land and exploit their natural resources.

On May 15, 2017, prosecutors said that he had been charged by Valdelir Joao de Souzan, a farmer who owned two wood - related companies, and four others who had been part of an illegal paramilitary group. Prosecutors have claimed de Souza had ordered the massacre, even though he had not witnessed it.

Since then de Souza had fled. But in April 2018, two other lands were registered under his name. These two lands had an area of 1,000 and 52 acres [1.2 ha]. Satellite images showed how he had depleted the farm in 2015.

The investigation has shown the difficulties that large Brazilian companies have to monitor their livestock supply chains in view of the many collapses performed by farmers. /Periscope
