In protecting indigenous peoples, the Federal Police has, within its organizational
structure, the Division for the Suppression of Crimes against Social Rights and Citizenship
(DDSC), which counts on the Service for the Suppression of Crimes against Indigenous
Communities (SRCCI / DDSC / CGDIHC / DICOR / PF).

At various points, the report mentions the issue of the Yanomami peoples, as in the
following excerpt:
“Renegade artisanal gold miners continue to poison the Yanomami people leaving
irreversible impacts on children and a toxic legacy of disease and disability for future
generations” (p. 12)
86.
Specifically, concerning the Yanomami Indigenous Land, the Federal Police and the
Ministry of Justice and Public Security are developing a plan of integrated actions to curb
crimes of any nature in their interior, which will include the fight against water pollution
crimes in that IL.

It should also be noted that, within the structure of the Federal Police, there is the
Division for the Suppression of Crimes Against the Environment and Historical Heritage
(DMAPH/CGPFAZ/ DICOR/PF), a unit linked to the Directorate of Investigation and
Combat against Organized Crime (DICOR), which aims, among other objectives, to
coordinate and align operational actions carried out in these areas by all units in the country.

Each of the Regional Superintendencies, installed in the capitals of all states of the
Federation, has a Regional Police Station for the Suppression of Crimes Against the
Environment and Historical Heritage (DELEMAPH/DRCOR/SR/PF/UF), responsible for the
coordination of these same activities at the state level. It is also essential to consider that all
Federal Police stations in the country also act to repress crimes committed against the
environment, according to their limitations and the demands presented.
89.
In the Legal Amazon, the Federal Police has nine Police Stations for the Repression
of Crimes against the Environment and Historical Heritage and another 19 Decentralized
Police Stations that also act in the repression of crimes against the environment in a nonspecialized way. In addition to the units mentioned above, the Federal Police intends to install
three bases for use by Sensitive Environmental Investigations Groups (GIASEs) and an
Outpost in an area considered strategic for the suppression of deforestation in the south of
the Amazonas state, in Santo Antônio do Matúpí.
90.
Through the Division for the Suppression of Crimes against the Environment and
Historical Heritage, the Federal Police presented three actions to deal with the challenges in
the area of repression of environmental crimes:
i.
Implementation of the Legal Amazon Sensitive Environmental Investigations
Group;
ii.
Planning and execution of a coordinated and integrated calendar of actions for the
Operation Legal Amazon;
iii.
Definition of a methodology for sharing deforestation alerts for the Police Stations
for the Suppression of Crimes against the Environment and Historical Heritage and
the Decentralized Police Stations.
91.
Also, a unit specialized in tackling environmental crimes committed by criminal
organizations, GIASE is being implemented. Its institution can occur whenever there is a
need for complex and priority investigations, with transnational or interstate characteristics.
92.
The focus of this group's activities is the arrest of leaders of criminal organizations
that practice environmental crimes in the Legal Amazon. The group also aims to carry out
the freezing and confiscation of assets and values arising from the money laundering of
organized environmental crime, with a strong bias of international cooperation in the area of
environmental crimes.
