ABIN: What is it and what is it for?

A ABIN was created in 1999, replacing the old National Information Service (SNI), and its operations are governed by Law No. 9.883/99.

The main functions of ABIN include:

1. Information Collection: The agency gathers information from various sources such as reports, human, electronic and communications sources. This information may relate to threats to national security, such as terrorism, transnational crimes, espionage, among others.
2. Information Analysis: ABIN analyzes the information collected to identify threats and risks to national security. This involves assessing the credibility and relevance of sources and producing intelligence reports.
3. Strategic Intelligence: The agency produces strategic intelligence reports that assist government decision-making by providing analysis and assessments on national and international issues.
4. Counterintelligence: ABIN is also responsible for counterintelligence activities, that is, the protection of sensitive information and government security against espionage and hostile activities.
5. Support for Security and Defense Bodies: The agency provides support to Brazil's security and defense forces, providing information and analysis that assist in the operations and strategies of these bodies.
6. International Cooperation: ABIN cooperates with intelligence agencies in other countries to combat transnational threats, such as drug trafficking and terrorism, and to share relevant information.

It is important to note that the ABIN operates within the limits of the law and the Brazilian Constitution, respecting the rights and freedoms of citizens. Its main objective is to promote national security and protect the interests of the Brazilian State.
