Career

edit

Cappelli was born in Rio de Janeiro and studied data science at the University of Estácio de Sá.[2][4]

Cappelli was an adviser to a Rio councillor on youth policy from 2000 to 2002, when he unsuccessfully ran on a Communist ticket for the Legislative Assembly of Rio de Janeiro.[2]

He was National Secretary for sport, education, recreation and social inclusion in the Ministry of Sports from 2003 to 2006, Secretary of development of Nova Iguaçu in 2008, and Secretary of Communication of Maranhão during the term of Flávio Dino as governor; he followed Dino in leaving the communists and joining the Ministry of Justice and Public Security.[2]

On 8 January 2023, he was named Federal Intervenor to the Secretariat for Public Security of the Federal District by the newly inaugurated President Lula da Silva, in the light of the invasion of the Praça dos Três Poderes government buildings by supporters of his predecessor, Jair Bolsonaro.[5][6] On 19 April 2023, he was named interim head and, at the same time, Executive-Secretary of the Institutional Security Bureau after the resignation of generals Gonçalves Dias and Ricardo Nigri.[7][8][9][10] He was temporarily substituted by Diego Galdino during his absence in the Ministry of Justice.[11] On 3 May, Cappelli returned to his position as Executive Secretary following the appointment of General Amaro as Chief of the Security Cabinet.[12][13]
