An operation by the Civil Police and the Public Ministry of São Paulo dismantled the so-called “claims sector” that operates within the Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC), together with an NGO that supposedly claimed prison rights and had the function of organizing protests and false complaints about torture allegedly suffered by detainees who were members of the faction.
The organization, in fact, was entirely funded by the criminal faction, without any support from public or private resources.
In addition to claim services, the NGO Pacto Social & Carcerário SP, located in São Bernardo do Campo, in ABC Paulista, also provided intermediary services with the “tie sector” for medical care such as aesthetic procedures, teeth whitening, etc.
