to a criminal organization.
Flavio Bolsonaro
3:20

Flavio Bolsonaro
3:30
There, for example, there were criminal factions where if you saw a tattoo of little drops on the scumbag's face, that was the number of police officers he had already killed.
Flavio Bolsonaro
3:40
Then there were some drawings that identified.
Flavio Bolsonaro

Flavio Bolsonaro
5:12
The STJ (Superior Court of Justice), at the end of 2024, understood that the rifle was a tool of the drug trafficker's trade.
Flavio Bolsonaro
5:22
Because in a situation where a guy was convicted for drug trafficking while carrying a rifle as well.
Flavio Bolsonaro
5:29
Instead of considering that a separate crime — that is, the guy would answer for drug trafficking and for illegal possession of a rifle — they considered that this was an instrument to guarantee his ultimate activity.

Flavio Bolsonaro
6:34
About: increase the police force
You can't investigate, the person flees, you don't have enough police officers, you don't have sufficient technology to assist the police.
Why it was classified this way · 70% confidence Lists 'não tem número de policiais suficientes' as a cause — describes a shortage.
Flavio Bolsonaro
6:41
