A Rio De-Janiero based drug trafficker, Clauvino da Silva attempted a prison break.

Rio’s state secretary of prison administration released photos showing da Silva in a silicon girl’s mask and long dark-haired wig, wearing tight jeans and a pink shirt with a cartoon image of donuts. Prison officials said that the nervousness he displayed while getting out of the penitentiary gave him away.
His daughter, Ana Gabriele Leandro da Silva, who had remained behind in the prison as per the plan, wasn’t feeling lucky either. As per the reports, she will be charged with abetting prison escape, a crime punishable with up to two years in prison.
Authorities say Clauvino da Silva, ‘Shorty’, was part of the leadership of the Red Command, one of the most powerful criminal groups in Brazil that controlled drug trafficking in a large part of Rio. He was arrested last month for attempting a prison escape back in 2013, when he was actually able to escape.

Wow! That’s scary. 😨
I wonder about all the people I’ve been around who are in disguise?
I’ve worked with public for more than 30 years. And seen some strange looking caricatures. That mask completely changed the shape of his face. The wig was bad. The eyes didn’t look good.— Maggie Morris-Calderon (@morningcloak7) August 5, 2019
Too bad for Shorty, he wasn’t so lucky the second time!
