- Neutral
About: reduce homicides and combat organized crime
Mr. President, I just wanted to pay my respects here as well to the Director-General of the Civil Police, Ruy Fontes, who was brutally and cowardly murdered yesterday, it appears, by organized crime, possibly in retaliation by the PCC.
- For
About: control and reform the penitentiary system to disrupt criminal factions' command
He was Director-General of the Civil Police in 2019, when we carried out the transfer of PCC leaders, more than 20 PCC leaders who were in a state prison in São Paulo, at risk of escape; we transferred them to maximum-security federal prisons and cut off communications by changing the manner of visitation: it became only by parlatório, with glass separators, by telephone, and with a prison officer monitoring.
- Neutral
About: guarantee state protection to security agents, including retirees
He took part in the development of that operation. He was a man of courage, who already had a long record of dedication and an extremely robust history in combating organized crime.
- Neutral
About: reduce homicides and combat organized crime
And when we see organized crime that dares to murder a former Director-General of the Civil Police, even knowing that there will be consequences for that act, that is very serious.

About: reduce homicides and combat organized crime
This demonstrates the degree of deterioration we have reached and the level of concern we must have regarding organized crime.

I also want to note, Mr. President, that we approved here in the Senate, still in 2023, a bill authored by me, Bill 1,307.
- For
About: guarantee state protection to security agents, including retirees
If it were in force... It contains a specific provision that was requested of me, including by law enforcement officers who fear that, when they retire, they will lose all forms of security protection from the State.
- Neutral
About: guarantee state protection to security agents, including retirees
That's because today a judge who is threatened, a prosecutor who is threatened, a police chief who is threatened, a lieutenant of the Military Police who is threatened by organized crime can count on the protection of the State so that he can perform his duties; and, at the moment he is retired, the legal basis for that disappears.
- For
About: guarantee state protection to security agents, including retirees
Of course, in my view, the correct thing is that this protection service should continue to be provided.
- Neutral

After all, he put himself at risk because of his fight against organized crime.
- For
About: guarantee state protection to security agents, including retirees
But we need to have a clear legal basis.
- Neutral
About: guarantee state protection to security agents, including retirees
And we approved, if I may here, Article 2, through an amendment to Article 9 of Law No. 12,694, which makes clear: Article 9. In the face of a situation of risk arising from the exercise of the function, of judicial authorities or members of the Public Prosecutor's Office, whether active or not, including retirees, and of their family members, the fact shall be reported to the judicial police, which will assess the need, the institutional conditions before other police bodies, the scope and the parameters of criminal protection. ......................................................................................................................... § 5. Personal protection shall be provided to police officers, active or retired, and to their family members, in situations of risk arising from the exercise of the function, according to the assessment carried out by the judicial police or by the directing body of the respective police force.

So we proposed it and it was approved without difficulty in this Senate Chamber.
- Neutral
About: guarantee state protection to security agents, including retirees
That bill went to the Chamber of Deputies and has already been approved in the CCJ.
- For
About: guarantee state protection to security agents, including retirees
Only the Plenary's deliberation remains. What we cannot do is lose this war.
- For
About: reduce homicides and combat organized crime
Unfortunately, it is indeed a war. We cannot lose this war to organized crime.
- For
About: guarantee state protection to security agents, including retirees
And we will lose this war if we do not protect...
- For
About: guarantee state protection to security agents, including retirees
(The bell rings.) ... the law enforcement agents who expose themselves to this risky activity, which is confronting organized crime.
- Neutral
About: guarantee state protection to security agents, including retirees
Ruy Fontes was one of those victims. Director-General of the Civil Police with a brilliant career against organized crime, he retired and, suddenly, sees the protection he had vanish.
- For
About: guarantee state protection to security agents, including retirees
We cannot allow situations of this kind to be repeated and we have here a responsibility, in my view, to grant an express and clear legal protection to these law enforcement agents.
- For
About: guarantee state protection to security agents, including retirees
Otherwise, we will lose this war. We will wait, perhaps, for the Chamber of Deputies to vote this in the Plenary so that Congress can do its part, but we have to demand these results, just as the entire State must, in confronting the problem, to protect...
- Neutral
About: reduce homicides and combat organized crime
(Sound interruption.) (The bell rings.) ... because, in the end, it is society that suffers from the growth of organized crime in the country.

About: reduce homicides and combat organized crime
Furthermore, those who suffer the most are vulnerable people, residents of the peripheries, often in areas dominated by organized crime or by the products — drugs, weapons — that organized crime constantly circulates in our country.
- For
About: guarantee state protection to security agents, including retirees
We cannot defeat them if we leave unprotected the law enforcement agents charged with combating them.
- For
About: guarantee state protection to security agents, including retirees
And this applies to those who are active, but it also applies to those who are retired, because organized crime, unfortunately, does not forget.
