Brazil’s Rio de Janeiro raises death toll from police raid to 132

More than twice the current official death toll, according to Rio de Janeiro’s state public defender’s office, was claimed by the city’s state public defender’s office.

The public body that assists the poor in legal matters said on Wednesday, “The most recent update is 132 dead.”

As bodies were laid on the road, mourners gathered in the streets of&nbsp, Rio&nbsp, de&nbsp, and Janeiro&nbsp, close to where the operation took place.

Governor of Rio de Janeiro Claudio Castro estimated the death toll on Wednesday at around 60, but warned that the actual figure was likely higher as more bodies were being taken to a morgue where the victims were being numbered.
