New São Paulo Public Security Secretary's informal style concerns governor's allies

São Paulo's new Public Security Secretary, Osvaldo Nico, is causing concern among Governor Tarcísio de Freitas's allies due to his informal media approach. Nico, a long-time police investigator, maintains friendships with journalists and readily grants interviews, sometimes without his communication team's knowledge, to publicize police work. He agreed to media training after his team intervened to prevent an unscheduled live television appearance, though he maintains he is friends with the host.
