Darcy Alves Pereira and his son dahli Alvez were sentenced to 19 years in prison for murdering Chico Mendez on 22nd December 1988. Mendez died exactly one week after his 44th birthday. Chico believed in protecting the rainforest from certain things, including cattle ranching. However if he continued, Darcy and Dahli (cattle ranchers) would loose money. They shot him thinking it would not be a well known death, but it was round the world in just months. It made the headlines in many newpapers and over 1,000 people attended his funeral.
