The Federal Police of Brazil revealed that the security company responsible for the assault on a deaf young man during the Apodi carnival was functioning clandestinely without the necessary authorization to operate as a private security provider. The incident occurred near a trio elétrico on Fat Tuesday, where the assault was captured in a video that circulated on social media, drawing significant public attention to the violent act.

In response to the incident, the Federal Police took action by formally closing the company's irregular operations. Additionally, they notified the Apodi City Hall about the illegal hiring of the security firm, aiming to prevent further occurrences of this nature. This step highlights the increasing concern over unregulated private security operations and their potential risks to public safety, especially in crowded events like carnivals where large gatherings occur.

The Apodi City Hall stated that they would continue to collaborate with authorities to ensure compliance with legal regulations and maintain dialogue to safeguard public events. Although the name of the security company has not been revealed, the implications of these events could lead to stricter regulations and oversight of private security firms in Brazil, particularly in high-traffic areas during festivals and public celebrations.
