The United States has designated Brazil’s two largest criminal organizations Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC) and Comando Vermelho (CV) as terrorist entities under its expanding crackdown on transnational crime networks. The move, backed by the Trump administration, targets groups involved in drug trafficking, money laundering, arms smuggling, and violence.
In a major escalation of its crackdown on transnational organized crime, the United States has designated or is in the final stages of designating Brazil’s two largest criminal organizations, Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC) and Comando Vermelho (CV), as terrorist entities.
The move forms part of the broader policy under the Donald Trump administration to classify major international drug trafficking organizations and violent criminal syndicates as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs) and Specially Designated Global Terrorists (SDGTs).
The decision is expected to significantly impact financial networks, cross-border investigations, and diplomatic ties between Brazil and the United States.
