The Prison Gang That Reached Brazil's Wall Street
Descrição
It started with a football match in a Brazilian prison yard in 1993. Today, prosecutors say it moves billions of dollars a year — through ports, gas stations and investment funds on Brazil's Wall Street.
This is the story of the Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC): how a prison gang built a statute, monthly dues, an org chart, a global cocaine supply chain and a money-laundering machine — and why the United States designated it a terrorist organization in 2026.
