During the time that the military exerted the political power in Brazil, taking over the country\'s government (1964-1985), a mixed repression agency was created, assembling elements from the three Armed Forces and from several police forces: the Information Operations Detachment (DOI) - after a pilot experience, the Bandeirante Operation. Created and deactivated during the military rule, the DOI was one of the most specific and striking products of the institutional violence practiced during the period. One examines the function of preliminary interrogatories produced by the São Paulo DOI within the repressive gear, trying to understand how the two axis of activity of the agency, information and security, worked together. From the beginning of the DOI, one follows on to investigate how the preliminary interrogatories were processed, how their discursive ethos was constituted, the subjects of interest, and, finally, the methods employed to obtain information and to treat this information in order to build a \"coherent\" deposition, free of contradictions.
