José Vicente Filho

expert

José Vicente Filho is a former National Secretary of Public Security in Brazil and a noted expert in security policies. He has voiced his opposition to classifying criminal organizations such as the Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC) and Comando Vermelho as terrorist groups, arguing that their activities are primarily driven by profit rather than ideological motives. Vicente Filho emphasizes that the existing legal framework, particularly the 'Pacote Antimáfia,' adequately addresses the challenges posed by organized crime without the need for reclassification as terrorism.
