In brief: In May 2026 the United States designated Brazil's Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC) and Comando Vermelho (CV) as terrorist organisations. Writing in O Estado de S. Paulo, Barry Wolfe argues that the decision "says less about the PCC and the CV than it does about Brazil". The PCC, he writes, is a Brazilian institution rather than an external threat, and it is present, directly or indirectly, in finance, agribusiness, logistics, energy and infrastructure. It rarely enters a business by force. It comes in through relationships of trust — suppliers, partners and intermediaries — and exploits the gap between how an organisation is supposed to work and how it actually does.
