Trump and PF agree to expand cooperation and intelligence

In a statement, the US Embassy in Brasilia indicated that the Department of Internal Security Investigations and the Federal Police (PF) signed, on April 22, a memorandum of understanding that establishes “a robust structure for the direct sharing of criminal investigative intelligence information, best practices and methodologies for the investigation of transnational crimes in North and South Americas.”

“Our bilateral law cooperation in law resulted in this year the arrest of dozens of criminals who threatened communities,” Gabriel Escobar’s US business in Brazil, said. “With this new agreement, we will further strengthen our partnership with Brazil to bring more transnational criminals to justice,” he said.

“This partnership will allow our agents and officers to collaborate in an integrated manner in high-impact investigations, expanding our joint ability to face security threats and protect the well-being of citizens from both countries,” Darin said.

For Seixas, the commitment goes beyond a formal document, “the signature ceremony is a testimony of our shared commitment to combat crime and protect our citizens.” “By uniting our resources and expertise, we will take significant steps in combating transnational crime and protecting the security of our nations,” he added.

In the note, the Americans have indicated that collaboration between HSI and PF has lasted more than 20 years, fighting “some of the most significant transnational criminal organizations in the world.” “Among the priority outbreaks of the partnership are trafficking and smuggling of people, firearms trafficking, child exploration, cyber crimes and financial crime networks,” he added.
