A efetividade da descapitalização de organizações criminosas como estratégia de combate ao narcotráfico no estado de Rondônia

Abstract

This article analyzes the effectiveness of the decapitalization of criminal organizations as a central paradigm in combating drug trafficking in the State of Rondônia. Given the rapid expansion and increasing business sophistication of criminal factions in the Legal Amazon, which exploit the extensive border with Bolivia, the research problem questions the adequacy of the traditional repressive model focused strictly on mass incarceration. The objective is to demonstrate how financial disruption contributes to the structural and economic dismantling of these highly complex criminal networks. The methodology adopts a qualitative and historical-descriptive approach, based on a literature review, analysis of data from the Brazilian Forum on Public Security, statistical records of asset seizures, and case law from the Court of Justice of Rondônia (TJRO). The results show that the rigorous application of the legal framework has enabled significant operations in recent years, such as Alcance 2 and Sucessão, which blocked hundreds of millions of reais and dismantled complex money laundering schemes. It is concluded that economic strangulation, combined with the early disposal of assets and the financing of the security apparatus with resources derived from criminal activity itself, constitutes the most effective and sustainable means of continuously weakening transnational logistics and protecting the society of Rondônia.
