Moraes Orders Federal Probe Into Rio’s Crime Networks, Targeting Money Laundering and State Infiltration

The order pivots the response toward dismantling financial structures as a path to curbing lethal violence.

Líder do PT acusa o governador do Rio, Cláudio Castro, de atuar como “informante” dos Estados Unidos.
Investigação da PF contra facções anunciada por Moraes deve focar em dois pontos.

Overview

  • Alexandre de Moraes converted a preliminary petition into a formal inquérito and directed the Federal Police to investigate laundering schemes and possible infiltration of criminal groups in public bodies.
  • He requested operational images from recent actions in Rio and a detailed PF report on steps taken to date, citing the need to assess excessive force and strengthen external oversight by prosecutors.
  • The move unfolds under the ADPF das Favelas framework, with Moraes criticizing the lack of autonomy of Rio’s forensic police and calling for independent pericias.
  • The Senate CPI on Organized Crime is underway with Fabiano Contarato as chair and Alessandro Vieira as rapporteur, who deemed federal security investment “very low” and approved hearings with ministers, the PF director, and governors including Cláudio Castro and Tarcísio de Freitas.
  • Congress remains split between an opposition bill to label factions as terrorists and the government’s antifacção package, with the Chamber delaying CCJ votes as Gleisi Hoffmann rejects equating facções with terrorism over sovereignty and intervention concerns; separately, a PT representation asks the STF to probe Governor Castro over contacts with the U.S. DEA and alleged sharing of sensitive reports.
