The National Secretary of Public Security, Mario Luiz Sarrubbo, defended, this Tuesday (9), that the website Capturelaunched this week by the federal government, its main target is to reach leaders of organized crime. In an interview with TV Brasilhe said that the project will help the States’ security network and encourage complaints from the population. 
“The idea is to increase the possibility of capture. These are criminals who can be said to be central to the structure of organized crime,” he stated. Sarrubbo highlighted that this is a program of the Ministry of Justice and Public Security together with the federated units.
To assemble the list of fugitiveseach federation unit must list eight main criminals. Thus, the list will include 216 of the country’s most wanted fugitives. The website, according to Sarrubbo, will help the ministry integrate intelligence actions so that criminals can be reached.
He explained that, as captures are made, the list will be updated. The national secretary contextualized that the project began in Rio de Janeiro as “several leaders of criminal organizations from all over Brazil” would be in that State.
Rewards
Sarrubbo added, also in the interview, that the project will rely on complaints from the population, but that the State must offer security support to anyone who can collaborate. “It is very important that the State provides guarantees of secrecy and protection to these people. And these mechanisms are being built.
One of the possibilities is that there will even be payment of rewards in the future to those who can collaborate. According to the Ministry of Justice, an internal working group is being set up to discuss the legal and practical feasibility of this possibility in order to be implemented in the next stages of the program.
“This is being built very carefully so that it can encourage people to report it,” said the secretary. The ministry informed that anonymous reports can be made via channels 190 and 197.
