Sociologist unravels symbiosis that structures crime in Brazil “It’s the Executive, the Legislative and the Judiciary. Without them, you won’t form a militia.” On March 24, the Federal Police arrested federal deputy Chiquinho Brazão, as well as his brother, the State Audit Court advisor, Domingos Brazão, and the former chief of the Rio de Janeiro Civil Police, Rivaldo Barbosa. The three are accused of ordering and orchestrating the murder of Marielle Franco and obstructing the investigation into the case. According to the PF, the motive was a political dispute over a piece of land in Rio de Janeiro, located in an area dominated by militias. For this week’s Pauta guest, this answer is incomplete. Sociologist José Cláudio Souza Alves has been researching the emergence and expansion of militias for over 30 years. In this conversation with Andrea Dip and Clarissa Levy, José Cláudio details which elements are necessary for the implementation of this type of crime in a territory and how the power of the State becomes essential for its organization and growth. For him, we are still at the beginning of the relationship between militia and State, which refers to the country's own history and which we are still far from understanding in all its complexity.
