On November 18, 1999, Augusto Farias was formally charged with being a co-conspirator in the murder of his brother.[1] The charges were filed by prosecutors who gathered new evidence in the third investigation into the murders. The first two inquiries ruled that PC Farias was the victim of a murder-suicide.
