Global InformationAltamira child emasculations information
The Altamira child emasculations refers to a series of crimes that occurred in the municipality of Altamira, in Pará, Brazil, which involved boys aged 8–14. They were kidnapped, maimed and killed between 1989 and 1993.[1][2] According to the Pará authorities, the crimes were committed for the purpose of satanic rituals and black magic, promoted by the "Superior Universal Lineage" sect, a mystical organization that, among other things, challenged the Western idea of divinity.[3] However, after the case was closed, Maranhão police arrested Francisco das Chagas Rodrigues de Brito, a serial killer who claimed 42 murders committed against children, including 12 in Altamira, which brought uncertainty over the judicial outcome.[4][5] The accused, who have always claimed to have no involvement with the crimes, asked the court to reinvestigate the cases.[6][7][8] Due to the level of violence, the case quickly generated mainstream attention and international repercussion.[9]
