==Army captain==
Capitão Guimarães is a former army captain attached to the DOI-CODI involved in torture during the military dictatorship of Brazil (1964–1985).〔(Brazilian Numbers Game Ties Officials to Mobsters ), The New York Times, June 7, 2007〕〔For the preceding details of the game, where Capitão Guimarães ran it, and his sentencing, see Frossard, Denise. ("Women in Organized Crime in Brazil )", in Fiandaca, Giovanni (ed.). ''Women and the Mafia''. Springer, 2007, pp. 200–201, particularly p. 201.〕 He operated out of Section II (Intelligence) of the Army Police in Rio’s Vila Militar, a unit that, like all of the dictatorship’s torture squads, received substantial rewards for capturing or killing left-wing militants.〔 (Ex-torturador é chefão da máfia do bingo ), by Celso Lungaretti, Carta Maior, April 23, 2007; for an English translation, see: (Carnage and Carnival: The Curious Career of Captain Guimarães )〕
He also got involved in contraband activities. The scheme was discovered and Guimarães and his gang were arrested. During their trial the gang members claimed the confessions had been extorted from them. Most of them said that after being beaten they had signed the confessions without reading them. In May 1979, the 21 accused were found innocent. In appeal the case was thrown out, ironically on the grounds of torture. But Guimarães’ military career had been compromised and he resigned from the Army.〔〔
