Fronteiras invisíveis: uma geopolítica do crime na lógica do abrigo de criminosos de outros estados nas comunidades cariocas sob o domínio do Comando Vermelho (2020-2023)

Abstract

Starting from the premise, fully demonstrated, that drug trafficking is an evil that afflicts most of the member states of the federation, posing a serious threat to public order and the safety of citizens, the present study aims to demonstrate a practice that has been making it common in the criminal strategy adopted almost exclusively by the Comando Vermelho faction, seeking to welcome and protect in areas under its influence and control located in the communities of Rio de Janeiro its members with a position of protagonism and leadership from other states. Since Rio de Janeiro is the place where the criminal organization emerged and originated from its main leaders and regulations, it is possible to identify geopolitics of organized crime that, while sheltering criminals from other states, allows them to continue issuing orders to carry out criminal activities in several capitals and cities of the national territory. Such a situation generates immense concern and should be known and studied by the public security authorities of the states and the federal executive branch, notably the National Secretariat of Public Security and the Ministry of Justice, with the aim of developing strategies to confront this phenomenon. It is intended to point out some explanatory causes of such a phenomenon and provoke reflection on the importance of implementing integration actions between the security forces of the various federative entities, under broader coordination. It is inferred what implications they have for the public security and criminal justice system of the affected states and of Rio de Janeiro itself, as well as what threats are configured to the achievement of national objectives and the ends sought by the State.
