On the same date, Moraes ordered the government of Cláudio Castro (PL) to send to the STF, within 48 hours, all autopsy reports, intelligence reports and audiovisual records related to the operation, which began on October 28. The decision is part of the ADPF das Favelas, which deals with police lethality in the State.

Operation under question

Operation Containment, which targeted Comando Vermelho (CV), was one of the deadliest in the history of Rio de Janeiro. According to official data, 121 people died, including four police officers.

The action, which involved around 2,500 agents, sought to execute court warrants against suspects linked to the faction. However, images of residents transporting bodies through the Penha community generated international repercussions and led the Supreme Court to demand clarification from the Rio de Janeiro government.

In a parallel decision, Moraes also determined that the State preserve all evidence and accurately report the number of warrants issued and executed during the operation.
