Police officer from Rio de Janeiro summons journalist from Intercept Brasil

"The Rio Civil Police Deputy Pablo Dacosta Sartori summoned journalist Leandro Demori, from The Intercept Brasil, to testify on Thursday (June 10, 2021). According to information from the site Metrópoles, the motivation for the subpoena was the May 8 newsletter published by the website, with accusations against civil police officers in Rio de Janeiro. In the publication, agents of the Special Resources Coordination, involved in the shooting in Jacarezinho, are called 'facção da Core.'"

LJR Note: Facção translates to "faction" in English, but is frequently associated in Brazilian Portuguese to refer to a drug gang. CORE is the tactical unit of the Rio de Janeiro State Civil Police.
