Lula said yesterday that he ordered the recall of Federal Police delegates assigned to other agencies because they are 'pretending to work'. The National Association of Delegates responded, defending that the 53 assigned delegates perform strategic functions. The association said the president's statements weaken the security debate.
The Federal Police has 53 delegates assigned to other branches of the Executive, Legislative and Judicial powers, representing less than 3% of the total in activity. The federal government had promised to create the National Fund for Combating Criminal Organizations (FUNCOC), which would allocate resources confiscated from crime to public security funding.
