Representatives of DONALD TRUMP GOVERNMENT met with technicians from Ministry of Justice and Public Security (MJSP) of the management Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (PT) this Tuesday (6) and heard that, for Brazil, factions such as Red Command (CV) and First Command of the Capital (CCP) They cannot be classified by the country’s legislation as terrorist organizations, but as criminals.
Americans are this week in Brazil for a series of meetings in Brasilia. One of the guidelines is the issue of coping with criminal and terrorist organizations and international cooperation agreements between countries.
In the United States, Trump management has sought to frame Latin American criminal groups in activities that, by local legislation, can be associated with terrorism. This occurs, for example, with the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua.
US technicians told Brazilians who defend the classification of transnational criminal organizations such as terrorists and nominally cited CCP and CV.
However, the MJSP coordinators explained that, by Brazil’s legislation, this does not occur, as the performance of factions does not involve hate or religious crime, but rather to make profit through arms and drug trafficking.
The day before, the US entourage had received from Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) one, which relates the performances of the CV and PCC factions to terrorism, having as an example bonds with Hezbollah.
Another concern pointed out by Trump management representatives was the issue of immigration, the flag of the Republican President in this second term in the White House.
Seven technicians on behalf of the Ministry of Justice attended the meeting and seven sent by the US.
