🇧🇷🇧🇷❗️ — Cláudio Castro, governor of the state of Rio de Janeiro (RJ), says he expects cooperation from the federal government and that he does not fear oversight:

“Actions by the judiciary in the past turned our state into a major bunker for criminal activity, with criminals from all over the country taking advantage of the restrictions imposed on police forces. All the governors have offered to collaborate with us. We contacted everyone and organized extensive logistics to suppress any reaction from these criminals. We’ve only just begun our work against crime, and we will continue.

Any state that fails to understand that the greatest problem in the country is insecurity will suffer from it in the future and won’t be able to react. Rio de Janeiro takes the lead—not with the intent of acting alone, but with the understanding that the epicenter of this problem plaguing Brazil is right here in Rio de Janeiro.”

🇧🇷🇧🇷🚫 — Cláudio Castro, governor of the state of Rio de Janeiro (RJ), ordered the dismissal of all state employees who have criticized or will criticize the mega-operation against the criminal group Comando Vermelho (CV).

🇧🇷🇧🇷❌🌹 — Cláudio Castro, governor of the state of Rio de Janeiro (RJ), stated that he will not tolerate the politicization of the mega-operation against the criminal group Comando Vermelho (CV):

“Anyone who wants to join Rio de Janeiro right now in the fight against crime is welcome. Those who want to cause trouble and play politics—our message to them is: ‘disappear.’

We don’t need anyone telling us what the people of Rio want, because what our residents want is a solution for their daily lives. Our citizens deserve freedom; they deserve the highest level of public safety. We will not fall into the trap of politicizing one of the biggest operations ever carried out.”

🇧🇷🇧🇷 — During the gathering of criminals’ bodies found in the forest overnight, after the mega-operation in the state of Rio de Janeiro against the criminal group Comando Vermelho (CV), residents shouted words such as “JUSTICE” and “MASSACRE” toward various cameras and left-wing politicians present at the scene.

🌹 A nearby source confirmed the presence of city council members from the Communist Party of Brazil (PCdoB) and the Socialism and Liberty Party (PSOL). On the media side, several members of NGOs, the profiles Mídia Ninja and ICL Notícias, as well as reporters from Globo, were present.

🇧🇷🇧🇷 — Felipe Curi, Secretary of the Civil Police of Rio de Janeiro, commented on the mega-operation at the Comando Vermelho (CV) headquarters — the Penha and Alemão complexes: “The relatives removed the camouflage clothing these killers were wearing in the forest, and, miraculously, they were placed in the middle of the street wearing only their underwear.”

“WE ARE AT WAR. Anyone who says there was no intelligence work doesn’t know what they’re talking about. They’re talking nonsense on television. The National Force is not specialized in this type of action, in this kind of criminal ruthlessness. How many times have the Civil or Military Police had to rescue them? Whoever says that doesn’t know what they’re talking about.

Narco-activists are trying to condemn the operation. Yesterday’s operation was the biggest blow the Comando Vermelho has ever suffered in its entire history, since its founding in the 1970s. Those who chose confrontation were eliminated. Plain and simple.”

🔍 He warned that people will be investigated for removing the camouflage clothing from suspects before placing them in Praça São Lucas, in Penha. According to his aides, Curi also intends to send, by mail, all criminal records of those eliminated during the mega-operation to the critics, activists, deputies, and council members who condemned the operation. “It’s so they learn to read and know the difference between a real citizen and an imbecile,” he said.

🇧🇷🇧🇷 — A woman denounced that everyone is human, but only a police chief who was shot during the mega-operation against the criminal group Comando Vermelho (CV) was given priority for medical care, while the criminals were not: "It’s cowardice, they are Satan, and they came to take the lives of these boys!"

🇧🇷🌹❌🇧🇷 — 📹 The city councilor and left-wing activist Leonel Querino da Silva Neto, from the Workers’ Party (PT–government ally), released a political video to express the outrage and anger of Rio de Janeiro favela residents after the mega-operation against the criminal group Comando Vermelho (CV).

➡️ In the video, a community leader accuses Governor Cláudio Castro of using the operation to gain votes in the 2026 elections through “vote-buying” tactics, comparing the number of deaths to the Carandiru massacre in 1992, and invoking the false argument of education over militarized policing. He also stated that no one from the favela or any relatives of the criminals will vote for Cláudio Castro.
