Choreography of chaos
In the videos recovered by police, the “lists” roughly follow a script. First, the meeting point, usually a wide road in the northern or eastern region. Then, the motorcyclists line up, accelerate, and head towards the barriers that completely block the roads. Cabrinha can be seen maneuvering, pushing the motorcycle with one wheel on the ground while the group follows him. In another video, the influencer is seen wearing a traffic cone on his head.
Civil police seized about 50 motorcycles and luxury vehicles, including a Porsche.
From viral teenager to target of police operations
Mino Cabrinha’s rise in the networks began early, when he was still a minor, hence the nickname “Mino”. The pattern was always the same, high-risk videos, ostentatious aesthetics, and almost always illegal maneuvers.
He also reached out to influential people linked to federal investigations, such as Bouzaira, who was indicted by the Federal Police (PF) in Operation Narco Bet, which investigates money laundering stemming from international drug trafficking. On the networks, the two appear together at car conventions and luxury events.
São Paulo Civil Police stated that the group Cabrinha attended had been under surveillance for several months.
