With the arrest of 113 suspects and the death of 121 people, the massive “containment” operation, launched in and between the Alemão complexes on 28 October, mobilized public security authorities and provoked a series of press conferences in the presence of Rio de Janeiro Civil Police Secretary, Felipe Cori. The demonstrations, characterized by technical explanations and operational evaluations, generated comments and interpretations about the role of the portfolio holder.
In an interview for the article, Corey commented on rumors that he was planning to launch a political career in the state and denied the allegations.

He asked, “It is a big lie. It is speculation. Whoever says that is trying to politicize the process. How can we politicize an action resulting from an investigation that lasted more than a year?”
The secretary stressed that his career in the civil police depends on technical work. “My career is technical and it will never stop. My godfather has always been my work. I have always been invited to positions because of him, and that has always guided my performance.”
Corey also said that he hates politics and avoids any involvement in this scenario.
“Favela has its own sound.”
In the interview, the Secretary also commented on the results of the operation and stated that the residents of the community are satisfied with the developments in the police work.
“About 90% of the community’s residents, good people who live under a code of silence, agreed to the operation. The biggest winners in this police action are the slum residents.”
According to him, residents of the community had space to demonstrate after the massive operation. “The slum has its own voice. We spent years listening to residents through third parties (NGOs, experts, representatives). Now, they have cried out and I have been able to hear their voice. They are tired of being represented by people who were never allowed to speak for them.”
“Whoever described it as a massacre does not know what they are talking about.”
From the day of the operation, when the death toll began to rise and it became the deadliest action in Rio’s history, many groups began to characterize the operation as a “massacre” or “massacre.” Corey refuted these accusations.
“Anyone who tries to describe it as a massacre or a massacre does not know what they are talking about. The massacre is illegal and a random death. We were adhering to court orders. Anyone who did not react was arrested, and anyone who attacked the police was neutralized.”
The minister also defended the work of the security forces. He concluded, “Those who described the huge operation as a massacre were against the honor of the 2,500 policemen who participated in it, and even more so, against the honor of the four policemen who were killed and the wounded.”
Contain operations
As the Secretary noted, the containment process, which is a general policy of the Royal Jordanian Government, is not a one-stage policing operation. In fact, its first phase began in April this year.
Since the beginning, the operation has resulted in the arrest of more than 500 people, the confiscation of more than 400 weapons and thousands of ammunition, as well as the freezing of resources worth R$6 billion linked to the Vermelho commando.
Corey stressed that the goal is to financially strangle the faction, arrest its members, and contain the criminal group’s expansionist policy.
