Last Fugitive From Caçapava do Sul Prison Recaptured in CacequiBruno da Rosa Padilha, the final escapee from the Presídio Estadual de Caçapava do Sul, has been recaptured in the municipality of Cacequi, Rio Grande do Sul. His apprehension marks the conclusion of a manhunt that began after a brazen prison break on April 24.
Padilha was one of four inmates who escaped by sawing through the bars of their cell. While the other three fugitives were apprehended in the days following the escape, Padilha remained at large until his recent capture.
The coordinated escape and subsequent recapture highlight ongoing challenges within the Brazilian prison system regarding facility security and inmate management. Authorities successfully located and detained Padilha, bringing the incident to a close.
