This is part two for Velo Government,

episode three.

This podcast is a production of H11 Studio and CoolZone Media.

After talking to Player, I understand the CV outlook a little better.

Unlike some of the other gangs, they at least want to be seen to be helping the people.

But whilst it's true that CV generally didn't tax people back in the day, it's not like it used to be.

There are now reports of the gang charging favela residents for everything from parking spaces to internet access, just like a conventional government.

In fact, CV has the resources of the favela lockdown so well that in some cases they've literally made their own internet service providers.

In this article from 2022, journalist Graham Slattery details how armed gangs even chased out repairmen who'd been sent to a terminal to fix what showed as a disruption in service.

That it definitely was

As Rio de Janeiro residents sheltered at home last year during the deadliest phase of Brazil's COVID-19 outbreak Police detective Gabriel Ferrando said he got a tip that something suspicious was upending local internet service.

Access had vanished across broad swaths of Morro di Formiga or the Anthill, a tough neighborhood on the city's north side.

When Ferrando quizzed a technician from a broadband provider tasked with fixing the outage, the worker, who he declined to name, said armed men had chased him away with a warning not to return.

Turns out a new internet provider had claimed this turf.

A company whose investors at one time included an accused drug and arms trafficker with ties to Brazil's notorious Red Command crime syndicate.

Using stolen property, some of it pilfered from the internet provider TIM, the newcomers soon had their own internet service up and running.

Residents could sign up with the new firm or do without.

End quote.

Antil wasn't the only place affected either.

The journalists interviewed almost two dozen telecoms executives, law enforcement officials and internet users in Brazil.

They also reviewed thousands of pages of court documents submitted by the police.

What they found was, quote, an audacious takeover of internet service in dozens of neighbourhoods in Brazil's major cities by companies associated with alleged criminals unafraid to use force and intimidation to push out rivals.

The result is that tens of thousands of Brazilians now depend on unreliable second-rate broadband networks estimated by industry and law enforcement officials to be generating millions of dollars annually for purported crooks.

End quote.

So the webbing of telegraph wires above our heads in the favela is part of CV's telecoms empire.

The many different sized antennas and satellite dishes I've seen jerry-rigged onto the top of roofs and the sides of favela housing provides residents internet and television.

Let's call it CVNT.

It's the most popular provider in the whole of the favela because CVNT is the only provider in the whole of the favela.

If you want to surf the web, you'll be doing it with gang-made internet technology.

Real favela innovation.

In this case, it's a way to make more money from the citizens of the favela.

You could argue, so what?

Why should the local gang not make some extra money from an internet provider?

Well, I think the issue is that the residents have no other choice.

Use CVNT or don't have internet it's hardly a free market if the other competitors are chased away with literal machine guns

in fallet for gotero we seem to have gained some kind of trust the gang members are surprised we keep coming back each day and are definitely more comfortable with us around than they were at the start a few have even waved or nodded at us as we move past them at various checkpoints checkpoints.

We move further up the hills into the shakier heights of the favelas.

See, as you move higher into the hills of a Brazilian favela, the physical, social and infrastructural landscape changes dramatically.

Favelas are often built on steep land that the formal city avoids.

The glass and metal skyrises of the city are certainly not built on hillsides, ravines and floodplains.

The lower levels of the favela tend to be more accessible and as a result have better access to what limited public infrastructure there is.

Over time these services might extend upwards but not always.

Housing near the base of the favela is usually denser and more established, built from brick, concrete or as we've seen, brittle breeze blocks.

These homes are often two or more stories, sometimes with small shops or makeshift businesses businesses on the ground level.

As I travel further up into the favela, it's clear that construction becomes a lot more improvised.

Buildings on the upper slopes are usually smaller, built from cheaper materials like wood or sheet metal, and many lack proper foundations.

The angles of some of these dwellings look as if they're filmed on a fisheye lens.

Outer walls are sometimes bowing with weight and there are huge water butts hanging off the edges of many homes here.

probably their only chance to get decent water the jungle landscape becomes more dense also and so the area is susceptible to landslides particularly during rainy season these upper zones are at greater environmental risk and often house the poorest families one of the main issues here believe it or not is global warming amongst all of the guns and the drugs and the violence even pollution is getting the people here

the community reporting reporting platform Rio on Watch has covered this problem extensively in an article by Carla Regina.

She wrote, quote,

These phenomena leave some displaced and homeless, forced to live in public shelters or with relatives.

Local governments in Brazil generally register them for social rent if they are unable to access public housing programmes such as Miena Casamina Vida.

But not everyone affected is covered by these programmes, and even when they are, many report the payments received are lower than the rents charged in the favelas.

Thus, many favela residents choose to return to their former addresses to rebuild their homes.

Others join the homeless movement, occupying vacant lots or abandoned public and private buildings that are not fulfilling the social function of property as outlined in the Brazilian Constitution.

The complete absence of public services in higher parts of the favelas is alarming.

Ravines are giving way, gradually eroding with each bout of rain.

With a few more storms, which are common in Rio, it's likely these will collapse, wiping away everything and everyone in their way.

Tall trees grow on unstable soil and without proper care from the authorities.

They're also a cause of concern amongst residents.

They're close to falling onto their houses.

It's a tragedy waiting to happen.

One of the favela houses I visited in 2019 used to be occupied by a woman and her pregnant daughter.

Back then it was already in precarious conditions and did not have electricity.

The woman and her daughter cooked outside in their backyard on a makeshift brick stove using charcoal and a refrigerator grill.

When I spoke to the pregnant daughter in 2019, she said she felt no danger living there.

She was already used to it, and while almost everything got wet when it rained, she could sleep wherever the rain hadn't fallen.

Today the house is even more run down.

End quote

In the time we've been here in the favela, it's rained heavily several times.

Each roof drips water constantly, and a stream of debris and uncollected rubbish pushes filth and probably disease down some parts of the open hills.

One of the few benefits of living higher up in the favelas though are the views, if you can call that a benefit in such poverty.

We turn a corner after five minutes stomping up an almost vertical hill and are greeted with the natural beauty of the jungle in front of us.

Lush leaves, thick branches and green for miles.

Just around the corner though, on the other side of this strip, the view is the opposite.

You can see all the main roads into the favela from here and the normality of the city out in the distance.

Suddenly I hear the crackle of a radio.

Behind us there's a young lad dressed in a black t-shirt with a black hat and blue denim shorts sat with a few guns at a higher vantage point.

He's a lookout, watching here all day and informing his higher ups of any suspicious activity.

His plastic chair is placed within a few feet of the front door of a makeshift house.

It's decorated out front with a mix of different brightly coloured flowers.

There's even a little tortoise moving slowly through the garden.

I marvel at the tortoise as the lookout moves around, putting his pistol into the band of his trousers and nodding at us vaguely.

He doesn't want to talk as he's busy working, but he's friendly and he seems chilled out with us around.

I reckon he's about 16 years old.

In this area, despite the young gunman keeping watch of everything, there is a lot less going on and it does feel more peaceful.

Socially, there's also a subtle status hierarchy in some favelas depending on how high up you are.

While in most cities the higher ground means wealth, in favelas the opposite is often true.

As I've said, residents at the bottom tend to have better economic opportunities given their proximity to transport, employment and services.

Those living at the top are usually more isolated and have to navigate these long steep hills.

It's not uncommon for people to have to carry water, fuel or even construction materials by hand up the hillside.

Community investment and urban upgrading projects typically begin in lower or mid-level zones where access is easier and the property is more stable.

Higher up areas tend to be last in line for improvements like lighting, pavements and public spaces.

Ultimately, the higher you go in a favela, the more precarious life can be, structurally, environmentally and economically.

I want to go even further up to see what life is like there.

Carlos isn't sure, but he makes a few calls.

After a few minutes, he gets a message.

Basically, we have permission, but at our own risk.

The motorbike taxis will come to take us further, but one of the gang members has to radio each checkpoint first to let the gang members know not to shoot us as we go past.

It's taken him a while to radio each checkpoint on the route we're headed up.

I'm happy about that as he seems to be doing a thorough job.

I absolutely do not want to get shot today or tomorrow or or ever.

Eventually the bikes turn up.

I catch a ride up to the higher parts of Falat Fogotero.

After a few minutes I arrive first.

Not ideal.

They got to go back down to get Carlos.

We pulled up to a wreck area with a load of concrete benches, a children's playground and a mesh fence football court.

There's around a dozen armed gang members sat around the benches, both young and older.

As a unit they're better armed than the shooters we saw further down.

These lads have a variety of different long barrel guns and sidearms at their hips.

They have AK pattern rifles, AR-15 platform rifles, Falpara and G3A3.

With all these guns around, just meters away in the courts, kids are playing football and little children are watching.

Gang members all look at each other uncertainly, then at me.

I'm starting to worry they didn't get the message, don't shoot the gringo.

I put on my friendliest smile, wave and I say hi.

They kind of nod, then look to an older guy wearing all red with long hair down his back.

He's also the first person we've seen in the favela with a beard.

He has a Sega 12 semi-auto shotgun slung over his shoulder and a whole belt of red shotgun shells fastened around his waist.

He's like favela Rambo.

He nods to me and smiles wide.

Everyone relaxes a bit and Carlos arrives on the back of the bike.

Thank fuck.

It's all good.

Despite us being higher up where as I've mentioned favelas usually become more impoverished, this is actually a really nice neighborhood.

The houses are makeshift and piled up still, sure, but on this street at least they're all painted bright colours.

Green, pink, yellow.

There are large bushes with blooming multicoloured flowers growing out of the tops of the flat roofs.

I start to wonder if maybe a CV boss lives in this area.

The guy with a combat shotgun who we'll call red and a younger member of the local gang are about to head off on a patrol of the area.

I ask if we can join them and they shrug, okay, and they lead the way.

The patrol is a pretty informal affair.

The two armed gangbangers wander around the area with their guns drawn, but not like they're about to storm a frontline, it's more just in case.

The purpose of these patrols is to inspect the various CV checkpoints and make sure the gang members are all doing their job, that and to make sure there's no trouble in the neighbourhood.

It occurs to me that in a strange way, this is sort of what police back home do in the UK.

or at least what they used to do.

A bobby on the beat we call it, as in police officers who are assigned to a local area to walk about and make sure things are okay, familiarise the people with the police.

Now though, generally police in the UK chase after insignificant nonsense and largely shy away from serious crime.

I can't even remember the last time I saw a police officer get out of their car for anything other than an arrest.

But the concept still sits in my head as we walk around the upper levels of this favela neighbourhood.

CV has really taken on the role of the authorities in more ways than one, whether they realize it or not.

As we head down some uneven concrete steps out of the more colourful neighbourhoods, it becomes clear that actually this area is more impoverished than the lower levels.

The stench of shit and sewage is in the air.

A few people around look addicted to drugs.

We move through a checkpoint and the CV members on it look very high.

They giggle and laugh and say hello to us.

It's not ideal when they're all armed to the teeth.

Reds nods at them, says a few words, checks a radio and we move off down a long set of stairs in a narrow side street.

Halfway, I want to know what would happen if we encountered the police right now.

Both the lads there just said without hesitation, we shoot at police straight away, we can't let them into the favela, We can't let them up here.

This is not wannabe tough guy shit either.

These lads are totally serious.

They've probably already done it almost without a doubt.

It's matter of fact, it happens here regularly.

The cops kill them.

They kill cops.

The cops kill them.

They kill cops.

It goes on and on.

Like player said, this is a war that will probably last till the end of time.

Just as we're about to keep moving, an elderly man, maybe in his 70s, walks down the steps behind us with two huge bags of rubbish.

He's trying to clean up the area, or dump out his own home waste, I don't know.

The two gang members part to let him through.

The younger one, I notice, immediately puts his back to the wall and looks straight down at the floor.

It's like a young kid put in a dunce corner.

I could be wrong, but I sense he feels some kind of shame.

He's wearing a mask over his head, so it's not that he wants to hide his face, and yet still he hangs his head so his chin is almost touching his chest.

The old fellow strides through the middle of us and doesn't look up at the gang members or me for a single second.

He doesn't acknowledge any of us whatsoever.

In my opinion, his body language like this suggests he is absolutely not a fan of these guys.

It's a brief moment, but I see it almost as a silent protest.

Maybe I'm looking into it too much.

I don't know.

These two gunmen are basically the security of his neighborhood.

Impoverished young men with guns who are untrained and unscrupulous.

In every neighbourhood there's a batch of these CV foot soldiers armed with black market guns.

They're ready to fight at any time.

In fact, last year there were over 2,500 shootings in this area of Rio.

Over one third of them were during police operations.

Hundreds of civilians have been caught in the crossfire and many don't even go to the hospital for fears they'll be accused of gang activity.

Needless to say, the actual statistics are probably a lot higher.

Believe it or not, the life expectancy in a favela like this is just 48 years old.

If you're not killed in a gang shootout or by deprivation or assassinated for something, you might just get shot to death by the police.

It is not at all uncommon.

As As I've mentioned several times in this series, police brutality in Brazil is a long-standing issue, but in recent years it's become even more severe, especially in the favelas and poorer urban areas.

Brazil has one of the highest rates of police killings in the world.

A lot of the violence is tied to the so-called war on drugs, which is giving the police a kind of unofficial license to go inhard and ask questions later, if at all.

Here in Rio and in Sao Paulo, operations often involve armoured vehicles rolling into densely populated areas where shootouts erupt in broad daylight.

Civilians frequently get caught in the crossfire and accountability for that is almost non-existent.

What I find most shocking is the number of kids being killed.

In 2023, for example, police in Rio killed hundreds of people during operations, many of them just teenagers.

These deaths are often justified as the result of confrontations with gangbangers, but investigations are very rare, so who even knows?

Would you trust the word of a police force that is known to form illegal militias and deal drugs themselves?

I wouldn't.

Even if cases do get investigated, they rarely lead to prosecution.

Video evidence and witness testimony is routinely ignored and the cops involved in such killings are usually back out on the streets in just days.

People living here in the favelas often describe feeling under siege by the police rather than protected.

It's no wonder.

It's not just a few bad Apple cops either.

All the evidence suggests that this is a deeply embedded problem within the system here in Brazil.

And many of these units are part of the elite forces like Bope, who I spoke about in a previous episode.

They operate with heavy firepower and little oversight.

Politicians often praise these aggressive tactics as being quote-unquote tough on crime, especially during election cycles.

What a surprise!

The sickly former President Bolsonaro put this mentality on steroids when he openly encouraged police to kill suspected criminals and promised legal protection for those who did.

Obviously that emboldened any local forces that were out for blood.

Due to the nature of the combat in the favelas there were no end of cops looking to take scalps.

Community activists and human rights groups have been pushing back but they face serious risks too.

Some have been targeted or even killed for speaking out.

In the end, it's the people living in the favelas who pay the ultimate price.

The cycle of violence keeps turning and the gap between the state and its citizens keeps growing.

Not all group chats are the same, just like not all Adams are the same.

Adam Brody, for example, uses WhatsApp to plan his grandma's birthday using video calls, polls to choose a gift, and HD photos to document a family moment to remember, all in one group chat.

Makes grandma's birthday her best one yet.

But Adam Adam Scott group messages with an app that isn't WhatsApp.

And so, the photo invite came through so blurry, he never even knew about the party.

And grandma still won't talk to me.

It's time for WhatsApp.

Message privately with everyone.

The next day, I arrive early in the favela, and it turns out we've been invited into the home of a local who lives under CV rule, but is a civilian by choice.

He has no intentions to join the gang and hopes to make it as a successful rapper.

He goes by the name Floes and he is completely uninvolved in gang activity.

Let me be clear.

He wants to keep it that way.

This lab wasn't brought to us by CV either.

This is not some fake press tour.

It's a friend of a very trusted friend of mine that put us in touch.

For me, this is a perfect opportunity to speak to a civilian in his own home here in the favela.

We head up an extremely steep hill to meet Floes.

You almost have to put your hands out as you walk up it.

As soon as we arrive, Floes is out, he's ready.

I spot him at the back door of an alleyway that leads to his small favela-rented dwelling.

I instantly like his vibe.

He's clearly full of energy and he embraces me warmly like we're old friends.

He's in his early 20s, skinny with a little goatee beard, a baggy t-shirt and a a flat peak cap with Jay Diller embroidered into the front of it.

Jay Diller being the highly influential American hip-hop producer and rapper known for his work with artists like A Tribe Called Quest and Common.

I follow Flows into his house.

It's small, airy and honestly pretty cozy.

The walls are all bare concrete as are the floors.

but Flows has made it his own.

There are world maps on the walls, an old worn-out punch bag hanging from the ceiling, and a desk with a laptop and various different music equipment spilling over it.

Seeing as me and my team are from the UK, Flos tells us he has a drill beat ready and wants to show us his rapping ability.

Now, if you don't speak Portuguese, his verses won't make sense to you, but I'm gonna let it play in full anyway, as I don't think it matters if you don't understand.

Floes is a hidden favela talent, trust me on this.

Umpresent supés fossado mojitus stado nos chiru bousi.

Pour san nous se po lado hasti dotari s protegi.

Chiruna car,

That's it, boy.

That's good, that's really good.

So there's a lot of like, you know, gang activity around here.

Do you find it hard to kind of stay away from that and just keep track doing your own thing with your music?

Or is there a kind of like maybe a pressure where you feel hmm, maybe you would be doing better if you did join the gang or something like that?

These people grew up close to complicated situations.

It's not compulsory to join, you know.

I know this because music rescued me.

In De Favela, we are hostages of the system.

The system brings nothing good to us.

The system only comes here to kill.

As someone who's grown up in this community, you were born here, raised here, you live here still.

It's run by CV.

What do you think of the police?

We haven't seen any, but I understand when they do come here, things really kick off.

As a local, what's your perception of the cops here?

I don't feel safe around the police.

In the community, when they come here, in almost all cases, it's to hurt people.

They want to build a completely desensitized society.

The police have a lot to do with this because it's like they have pushed people to become monsters.

So when you're out of the favela and you're in like the main areas of Rio, the less impoverished areas, how do you feel?

Do you feel like that's the same place or not?

Because for us, honestly, it feels like the government has completely abandoned the favelas and only cares about like downtown.

I mean how does it feel to you?

I feel a very strong collective instinct here.

You have respect, affection and a great admiration for the people you see there through good times and bad.

In the city, it's more difficult because people are very elitist.

They have ideas that are totally different from our collective one.

In many buildings, they don't even greet a doorman.

They don't even know their neighbor, even though they have lived there for years.

Do you have any fear of like C V though?

Because you see them, they're up and down here, they're armed.

Obviously, there's a lot of violence when the police come in.

Is that something you feel as a local?

Like, are you scared of them, or or do you feel like they protect you?

We have learned to get used to it because our reality is, in a certain way, safer.

How can I explain this?

Like,

here, if I leave my window open, I know no one will rob my house.

No one steals from anyone here.

So, in a way, I feel more at ease.

However, we should never normalize situations like we have here, because we know many people who are in CB and it's a very risky lifestyle.

So, to normalize this will be psychotic.

Have you lost anyone due to this life?

Oh, yeah, I will tell you.

He was a really good kid, a very nice person.

Renato died at the top of Fogatero.

The police were hiding inside a children's nursery.

Bro, a nursery should be used for good things.

Military police hid him there and they killed him.

He was a good dad.

Now his son is growing up to be a beautiful kid.

Bro, I am tired of this.

This is how we live in the favela.

A favela resident is always discriminated against.

Regardless of where you're at, you will always be a suspect.

How does it work if, say, someone comes into your house when you're not here, steals a load of stuff, and then gone?

Like, who do you go to?

Say you have a dispute.

Are you able to go to CV to like deal with disputes like that or no?

That's an impossible situation.

There is no way the favela boss will ever happen here.

With this, Flows starts laughing.

I think the message is clear.

No one would dare act up in the favela when CV is around.
