StellarCrowandClaude Fable 5.1 499fd61f79 feat(sources): fetch linked URLs for the 252 spreadsheet-only cases 
Until now only cases 357+ (plus a few older ones) had their linked URLs
fetched; the other 252 dossiers held just the text pasted into the
spreadsheet, often only the lede. This pass fetches every linked URL for
those cases so the full text is on file before link rot takes it.

- stage_all.py: new --include-sheet-cases flag that lifts the skip on
  cases holding spreadsheet articles. Resumable as before.
- staging/: raw extracts and index.json for the 252 cases.
- sourced-articles.json, case-files-manifest.json: 188 new UNTRIMMED
  blocks. 179 cases gained at least one fetched article; 73 got none
  (49 BLOCKED, 18 THIN, 9 DEAD, 4 video/social, 3 ERROR).
- sources/*.txt: rebuilt with build_cases.py --all. Sheet pastes are
  kept; fetched blocks sit beside them under the NOT YET TRIMMED banner.
  Files previously committed with CRLF are now LF.
- wayback-availability.json: Wayback snapshots exist for 73 of the 98
  failed URL slots; input for an archive-fetch pass.
- README-START-HERE.md: progress note and next step.

verify_all.py PASSES (1836 checks).

Falsos policiais sequestram influenciador e roubam US$ 750 mil em criptomoedas em Ribeirão Preto
Um dos suspeitos foi preso no mesmo dia, mas outro segue foragido
Dois homens fingiram ser policiais civis para adentrar em um hotel e sequestrar um influenciador de 18 anos. Segundo as apurações, a dupla levou cerca de R$ 750 mil em criptomoedas da vítima.
A ação foi filmada por uma funcionária do hotel, por incentivo dos próprios suspeitos que tentavam passar um ar de legitimidade à falsa prisão.
O caso é semelhante a outro ocorrido em março na França, quando criminosos se passaram por policiais para roubar R$ 5,4 milhões em Bitcoin de um casal em sua própria casa.

Imagens mostram momentos da ação dos suspeitos
Conforme apurado pelo Cidade Alerta, o caso aconteceu em um hotel em Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, no dia 3 de julho, após o influenciador ir para a cidade passar um final de semana romântico com sua namorada.
O vídeo abaixo, filmado por uma funcionária do hotel, mostra o momento da ação dos suspeitos vestindo roupas da Polícia Civil.
“Polícia Civil! Abre a porta! Abre a porta, malandro, vai! Nós vai arrombar a porta! Abre a porta!”
Em um trecho, é possível ver até mesmo um papel que teria sido apresentado como um mandado de prisão. “Você vai ver o mandado de prisão lá na delegacia, na hora que você pegar com seu advogado, tá bom, bonitão?”, disse um suspeito ao ser questionado sobre o motivo da prisão.
Após algemarem a vítima, a dupla desce de elevador, coloca o influenciador no banco traseiro de um carro comum, sem caracterização policial, e sai do local.
“Um agente vai descer para dar uma verificada no quarto. Pode deixar do jeito que está lá. Vocês não mexam, porque provavelmente vai ter mais alguma coisa lá. Como vocês viram, o celular dele ele já dispensou, já jogou na água.”
Um dos suspeitos foi preso no mesmo dia, outro segue foragido
Segundo as apurações da polícia, os criminosos acompanhavam a rotina da vítima pelas suas redes sociais, sabendo assim que ele investia em criptomoedas.
Na ação, os suspeitos teriam roubado R$ 750 mil em criptomoedas antes de liberar o influenciador.
Devido às filmagens acima, que mostram os rostos dos suspeitos e a placa do carro utilizado, a Polícia Militar conseguiu abordar o veículo em questão na rodovia Anhanguera.
“Durante a abordagem, duas algemas foram localizadas e uma case de uma arma de fogo no porta-malas, porém vazia. O indivíduo teria dito que a arma estaria sob o banco. Durante a abordagem, percebendo que eles iam ser detidos, eles acabaram reagindo. O motorista do Nivus acabou fugindo com o Nivus após tentar tirar a arma do policial rodoviário”, comentou o delegado Robson Gonçalves ao Cidade Alerta.
Um dos suspeitos trocou tiros com a polícia em Pirassununga, mas conseguiu fugir. O segundo fugiu a pé para uma área de mata, mas acabou sendo capturado posteriormente.
Finalizando, Gonçalves comenta que o segundo suspeito chamou um Uber para buscá-lo, mas, devido ao reconhecimento facial, conseguiram abordar o veículo e prender o homem identificado como Matheus Vinícius de Jesus dos Santos.

Fake police officers kidnap influencer and steal US$750,000 in cryptocurrency in Ribeirao Preto
One of the suspects was arrested the same day, but the other remains at large
Two men posed as civil police officers in order to get into a hotel and kidnap an 18-year-old influencer. According to the investigation, the pair took around R$750,000 in cryptocurrency from the victim.
The operation was filmed by a hotel employee, at the urging of the suspects themselves, who were trying to lend the fake arrest an air of legitimacy.
The case resembles another that took place in March in France, when criminals posed as police officers to steal R$5.4 million in Bitcoin from a couple in their own home.

Images show moments from the suspects' operation
According to reporting by Cidade Alerta, the case took place at a hotel in Ribeirao Preto, Sao Paulo, on 3 July, after the influencer travelled to the city to spend a romantic weekend with his girlfriend.
The video below, filmed by a hotel employee, shows the moment of the suspects' operation, wearing Civil Police clothing.
"Civil Police! Open the door! Open the door, you crook, go on! We are going to break the door down! Open the door!"
In one section it is even possible to see a piece of paper that was presented as an arrest warrant. "You will see the arrest warrant at the police station, when you get it with your lawyer, all right, handsome?" said one suspect when asked the reason for the arrest.
After handcuffing the victim, the pair went down in the lift, put the influencer in the back seat of an ordinary car with no police markings, and left the scene.
"An officer is going to come down to take a look at the room. You can leave it as it is. Do not touch anything, because there is probably going to be something else in there. As you saw, he has already got rid of his phone, he already threw it in the water."
One of the suspects was arrested the same day, the other remains at large
According to police inquiries, the criminals had been following the victim's routine through his social media, and so knew that he invested in cryptocurrency.
During the operation, the suspects are alleged to have stolen R$750,000 in cryptocurrency before releasing the influencer.
Because of the footage above, which shows the suspects' faces and the number plate of the car used, the Military Police were able to stop the vehicle in question on the Anhanguera highway.
"During the stop, two sets of handcuffs were found and a firearm case in the boot, but empty. The individual said the gun was under the seat. During the stop, realising they were going to be detained, they ended up resisting. The driver of the Nivus fled in the Nivus after trying to take the highway officer's gun," said chief inspector Robson Goncalves to Cidade Alerta.
One of the suspects exchanged gunfire with police in Pirassununga but managed to escape. The second fled on foot into wooded terrain, but was captured later.
Finally, Goncalves says the second suspect called an Uber to pick him up, but thanks to facial recognition they were able to stop the vehicle and arrest the man identified as Matheus Vinicius de Jesus dos Santos.
