3. Overview of the incident On the afternoon of Tuesday, July 23rd, a shootout occurred on Rio Negro Street in the Mauazinho district of Manaus, resulting in the death of a member of the First Commando of the Capital (PCC, based in São Paulo), a drug crime organization. According to security authorities, the victim had received death threats on social media from the drug crime organization Comando Vermelho (CV, based in Rio de Janeiro), which controls the district, making it highly likely that the incident was the result of a conflict between drug crime organizations.

4. Request from the Consulate-General of Japan Please avoid visiting risk areas where incidents have already occurred and stay up to date with the latest information through the news, etc.
If you are involved in a similar incident, here's what to do:
・If you hear gunfire nearby, immediately "lie down" (standing up increases your vulnerability to gunfire and your risk of being hit). Also, wait for an opportunity to retreat while ensuring your safety.
・If you hear gunfire in the distance or are able to move, run away from the scene. Remain calm and evacuate to a safe place.
・If you cannot "escape," then "hide." Place obstacles on the path between you and the perpetrator, and lie down to ensure your own safety.

Victimization of a Japanese national (robbery while in a car)
July 16, 2024, 5:21 a.m.
1. Date and time of occurrence: Around 6:00 p.m. on Saturday, July 6
2. Location of the incident: Vila Clementino district, Sao Paulo, at the intersection just before Rua Sena Madureira turns into Rua Domingos de Morais.
3. Overview of the incident The Japanese victim's family was driving and waiting at a traffic light at the above location, when as soon as the car started moving at a green light, someone broke the passenger side window and stole the mobile phone holder that was installed in the rearview mirror as a navigation system. At that time, the family who was riding in the back seat witnessed a young man wearing red clothes running away in the opposite direction to the direction of the car. Because the window glass had UV film attached, the shattering of glass was kept to a minimum, and there were no injuries to the Japanese victim or his family.
4. Damaged items
Mobile phones, mobile phone holders for rearview mirrors, window glass
5. Crime Prevention Measures (1) When traveling by vehicle, especially when in a traffic jam or waiting at a traffic light, please pay close attention to your surroundings to check for suspicious cars, motorbikes, or people.
(2) In recent years, there has been an increase in robberies targeting mobile phones while passengers are in their vehicles. Please consider using bulletproof equipment and shatterproof film as described on page 12 of the "Safety Guide" below.
(3) If you are caught up in an incident, attempting to resist could put your life in danger, so obediently comply with the demands of the assailant and never try to escape or resist, or make any other quick movements that could be mistaken for such actions.
(4) Another method is to prepare a wallet and some cash to hand over to the thief, or to hide valuables such as a passport and cards under the feet or in the trunk of the car.
(5) You can check the history of safety information issued by each Brazilian diplomatic mission on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' overseas safety website. In addition, our website also contains documents such as "Safety Guide" and "Collection of Case Studies of Japanese Nationals Affected." Please use these documents as reference for your safety measures.
