A convicted drug lord was caught trying to break out of prison by dressing up as his daughter and even wearing a face mask that looks like her.
42-year-old Clauvino da Silva from Brazil is a notorious drug lord who was stopped by sharp-eyed security guards as he attempted to escape prison by dressing up as his daughter as the 19-year-old visited him in prison.
As a part of his disguise, the man wore a long wig, a silicone face mask, and same women’s clothes his daughter wore when she entered the prison.
While the drug lord’s appearance was deceiving enough, it was the man’s way of walking and his nervousness that gave him away. After being pulled aside by security personnel, Silva, aka Baixinho, was forced to strip and show his true colors.
“Clauvino was wearing a pink t-shirt with a black bra underneath, had long black hair, tight jeans, white sandals, a coat and glasses but even though he had the face of a girl, he didn’t move like a woman,” Rio’s State Secretary of Prison Administration explained after the incident.
“Officers were suspicious of his appearance, particularly as he was in the middle of seven other women visitors who were leaving the prison and who appeared to be deliberately surrounding him to shield him from being seen clearly by us.”
In the video shared by FocusOn News, the officers are seen telling the man to remove his clothes to which he responded with “I shouldn’t have to take everything off.”
“This is not the time to mess around. Just take off the clothes. No one is going to do anything to you here,” the agent warned.
After the convict undressed, his tattoos and muscular frame came to light. The last thing that he removed was the mask, an act that revealed his true identity as one of the biggest drug lords of Rio de Janeiro.
