Overview
- Ministers Ricardo Lewandowski, Anielle Franco and Macaé Evaristo, along with Federal Police director Andrei Rodrigues, traveled to Rio and met at Palácio Guanabara.
- Authorities announced an emergency office to integrate federal and state actions against organized crime, with coordination by Mário Sabugo and Vítor dos Santos.
- Fatalities from Operação Contenção remain disputed, with the state reporting 119 deaths including four police officers and the Public Defender’s Office citing 132.
- Lewandowski and Governor Cláudio Castro downplayed earlier friction over requests for help, as the PF chief said he was contacted but deemed the request unreasonable.
- President Lula did not join the visit, Chief of Staff Rui Costa ultimately did not travel, and Castro stated there is no prospect of requesting a GLO.
