castor de andrade

castor gonçalves de andrade e silva -lrb- 1926 -- april 11 , 1997 -rrb- was a well-known `` bicheiro '' in rio de janeiro .
since the 1980s , castor de andrade was the uncontested leader of all the main `` bicheiros '' of the city of rio de janeiro , and had more than 100 policemen and a number of public servants , prominent politicians , and judges working for him .
castor was also very involved in the brazilian carnival and in soccer -- he was the major sponsor of bangu atlético clube and even called the `` owner of bangu '' , and he was also the patron of samba school mocidade independente de padre miguel .
he also helped found in 1984 the liga independente das escolas de samba do rio de janeiro , which has run the rio de janeiro carnival ever since and has served as the legal cover for the `` jogo do bicho cartel '' .
in 1993 , castor de andrade and 13 other major `` bicheiros '' were arrested .
they were each convicted to six years of prison , but castor obtained a `` habeas corpus '' and was released in the same year .
in march 1994 , a subsequent operation managed to break castor 's stronghold .
documents revealed the names of the many policemen , politicians , judges , public servants , and other prominent people who were profiting from his illegal activities .
after his death in april 1997 , the heirs to his fortune began fighting each other over the inheritance , and this led to the murder of his son , paulo de andrade , in october 1998 .
