Though police were
able to push out drug traffickers and gangs from favelas for the 2014
World Cup and 2016 Summer Olympics, the state government, which is
responsible for security in the region, faces a a budget shortfall of
almost 20 billion reais ($5.91 billion, 5.58 billion euros).
A police
spokesman said that the debris to ascertain the reason for the crash
was being examined by forensics officers. Four police officers were
killed on Saturday when their helicopter crashed in an anti-drug
operation in the Brazilian coastal city of Rio de Janeiro.
The
helicopter fell in a populated area near City of God, but crashed in
an open space near a major highway. Between January and October, 115
police officers were killed and 556 were injured in Rio state,
majority while they were off duty, official figures show. Images on
local television stations showed a white and blue helicopter broken
in many pieces. Firefighters removed the bodies of the victims from
the wreckage, which could be seen in the footage crumpled and
smoking.
If the helicopter was shot down by gang members, it would
not be a first for the city, which hosted the 2016 Olympics. Since
2008, security forces have occupied several favelas that were in the
hands of drug traffickers for 30 years and have also deployed the UPP
in 264 impoverished, crime-hit neighborhoods housing more than a
million people.
The murder rate across Rio through September climbed
nearly 18 per cent from the same period a year earlier, to 3,649
reported deaths, according to state statistics. Street crime,
including crime on public transportation, jumped 44 percent.
Though
crime in Rio remains far lower than its peak in the 1980s and '90s,
recent firefights and the crash yesterday recalled periods in which
the city erupted in conflict.
