Rio gubernatorial candidate Paes distances from arrested allies, vows unified security

Eduardo Paes, PSD candidate for Rio governor, publicly distanced himself from former allies convicted or arrested for corruption and murder, including ex-governor Sérgio Cabral and ex-secretary Chiquinho Brazão. He promised a unified security system integrating municipal forces into state crime-fighting. This is a campaign move to shed association with corruption ahead of elections, but its impact on policy is uncertain.
