Rio de Janeiro’s state law enforcement agencies launched a mega-operation across 10 low-income neighborhoods on Monday in an effort to regain control of areas dominated by organised crime.
The force, which included nearly 2,000 military and civil officers, were deployed in Rio’s western zone, which has seen intense territorial disputes involving drug traffickers and militias in recent years.
The sprawling neighborhoods - known as favelas - were Rio das Pedras, Cesar Maia/Coroado, Fontela, Muzema, Terreirao, Cidade de Deus, Gardenia Azul, Tijuquinha, Morro do Banco and Sitio do Pai Joao.
