The Rio 2016™ Organising Committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Games has been informed by its Security director, Luiz Fernando Correa, that the Public Prosecutor’s Office has filed a complaint requesting public legal action regarding his past administration as the national secretary of Public Security.
After presenting his defence case, prepared by the Federal Attorney General’s Office, and confident on a favourable ruling, Correa aims to seek compensation for image, moral and monetary damages from those directly and indirectly responsible.
As this decision - considering those likely responsible – may cause unease regarding his duties at the Security department, he is leaving Rio 2016™.
