"Lula's government will not bow to organized crime," says Alckmin, after the PCC case.

247 - The Vice President of Brazil, Geraldo Alckmin, commented on his social media about Operation Sequaz, carried out by the Federal Police, which arrested suspects of planning attacks against public authorities. "Congratulations to the Public Prosecutor's Office of São Paulo, the Ministry of Justice, and the Federal Police for this important work. As the press showed, this faction was planning a series of attacks. My name was on the list of those threatened. This was not the first time this has happened. When I was governor of the state of São Paulo, other investigations had already revealed threats of this type directed at me and my state secretaries. The reasons for this are very clear. Over the years, we have worked tirelessly, including in partnership with the governments of President Lula, to improve security in São Paulo," he said.

"Of course, this work bothers organized crime. But President Lula's government will not bow to criminal threats like this. The Brazilian state will not tolerate threats to public order or threats to its population," he added. Check it out:
