ブラジル南東部リオデジャネイロ市の北部に位置するスラム街において、28日、警察当局が犯罪組織に対する大規模な掃討作戦を展開した結果、激しい銃撃戦が発生した。
On the 28th, a large-scale police raid targeting criminal organizations took place in a slum in the northern part of Rio de Janeiro, southeastern Brazil, resulting in intense gunfire.
。
According to local media reports on the 29th, the death toll has exceeded 120, making this the most serious clash ever between police and criminal organizations in Rio.
。
The scene was a slum near Galeão International Airport, and state authorities called it the largest operation in history, mobilizing more than 2,500 police officers to carry out a massive crackdown on the Comando Vermelho organization, which leads drug trafficking.
。
As a result, more than 80 people, including the leaders of the organization, were arrested, but the group fiercely fought back using drones loaded with explosives and other means, and the gunfight continued for several hours.
。
Furthermore, members of the organization seized buses and trucks, abandoned them on the roads as barricades, and had a serious impact on the lives of citizens.
。
As a result, many bus routes were suspended, classes at schools near the site were canceled, and social disruption spread.
。
According to local reports, Comando Vermelho has been expanding its influence in recent years, and clashes with other criminal organizations have also intensified.
。
Therefore, the police have been meticulously planning this operation for over a year and have been preparing to identify the hideouts of the organizations members.
。
This incident once again highlights the difficulty of maintaining public security in Rio de Janeiro and the deep-rooted nature of organized crime.
