Overview

  • Governor Tarcísio de Freitas selected Osvaldo Nico Gonçalves to replace Guilherme Derrite, with a formal announcement set for Monday, Dec. 1, at a Rota ceremony.
  • Guilherme Derrite leaves the post to reassume his seat in the Chamber of Deputies as he prepares a Senate pre‑campaign.
  • Nico, the current executive secretary of the SSP and a career Civil Police delegate, brings more than four decades of service and work on high‑profile cases such as the arrests of Fabrício Queiroz and Roger Abdelmassih.
  • O Globo reports the governor personally phoned Nico on Friday to invite him to take the job, and he accepted after consulting his family.
  • An official message frames the appointment as policy continuity focused on combating organized crime and valuing police forces, while Marcello Streifinger was considered by the government and remains at the head of SAP.
