Marcos Vinícius Avelino

Marcos Vinícius Avelino is the vice-president of the Federação Nacional dos Policiais Federais (Fenapef), which represents the interests of federal police officers in Brazil. With 28 years of experience as a federal agent, he has been vocal about the increasing responsibilities of the Polícia Federal (PF) without corresponding increases in personnel and resources. Avelino has highlighted the challenges the PF faces in combating organized crime, particularly in the context of recent legislative proposals that would expand the agency's duties amidst its already overwhelming workload.
