The Deputy Head of Operations of the Division of Preparation and Employment at the Ministry of Defense, Air Maj. Gen. Gerson Nogueira, spoke at a joint public audience held on Tuesday morning (April 24) together with the Senate and the House of Deputies to discuss security at major events. He said that security and intelligence measures adopted for the Rio+20 Conference on Sustainable Development will leave a legacy for future major events such as the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympics.
