Amid the repercussions of the more than 120 deaths that occurred during Operation Containment, launched by the police to combat criminals linked to the Red Command (CV), Fachin said that mapping will help in the development of strategies to repress organized crime.
“The Judiciary is aware of this and is acting fundamentally on two fronts. The first of them is within the scope of the National Council of Justice. We are developing and will soon have a map of criminal organizations in Brazil, where they come from, where they are, what are their main points of interest so that, based on data and evidence, the entire Justice system, including, in particular, the police and the Federal Police, can have better policies to combat criminal organizations”, he stated.
Human Rights
