Rio’s State Secretary of Prison Administration released photos showing Clauvino da Silva in a silicon girl’s mask and long dark-haired wig, wearing a pink shirt with a cartoon image of donuts and tight jeans. They also released a video in which the accused can be seen removing the mask and some of the clothes and stating his full name.
