Overview

  • The PSB asked Justice Alexandre de Moraes to assign the Federal Police and the Federal Prosecution Service to investigate the operation known as Operação Contenção.
  • Filed on October 29 within ADPF 635, the request also seeks compliance with CNDH-recommended steps or at least Federal Police participation under Law 10.446/2002.
  • Reports say the megaoperation in the Complexo da Penha/Alemão left more than 100 people dead, with residents described as moving bodies to Praça São Lucas.
  • The filing alleges signs of executions and torture, including gunshot wounds to the head and back, tied hands, stabbing marks, and one reported decapitation.
  • Daniel Sarmento, the longtime PSB lawyer in the ADPF das Favelas, left the case after pressure from the party’s national leadership, and the STF has not yet ruled on federal involvement.
