The infiltration of criminal factions in the Brazilian prison system has grown and is present in all units of the federation, highlighting the PCC (Primeiro Comando da Capital) and the CV (Comando Vermelho), originating from São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, respectively.
An unpublished study carried out by the Ministry of Justice and obtained by Folha shows that the two largest factions in the country have operated in 24 states and the Federal District, with the most pronounced growth of the Red Command.
According to the data, the CV is present in prisons in 21 units of the Federation, six more than the previous year. The PCC is at 23, two more than in 2022.
The editor had access to more than 200 restricted and public documents, ranging from intelligence reports, ombudsman inspections, government data, lawyers and even members of factions.
According to experts, the scenario is symptomatic of the lack of control of public power, which strengthens organized crime, both due to the system’s inability to isolate leaders and due to the conditions inside prisons, which favor the recruitment of new members.
