Mateus Simões: Here that doesn't exist.
Mateus Simões: I do have the presence of the three factions here in Minas Gerais, yes—both the Terceiro Comando Puro, the Primeiro Comando da Capital, and the Comando Vermelho—but my police go into any place and don't enter with armored vehicles, don't enter in cars with windows open.
There is no territorial domination here; we deal with that with police presence and a tough approach.
Mateus Simões: We just concluded an operation, for example: a closed cordon, 3,000 police officers, 28... eight communities occupied, eight different cities, two thousand arrests; we only had three exchanges of gunfire.
Mateus Simões: And we managed to arrest more than 350 identified faction members, people who were already identified as being part of a faction.
