The FBSP (Brazilian Public Security Forum) assessed the decision of the United States government to classify the PCC (Primeiro Comando da Capital) and the CV (Comando Vermelho) as terrorist organizations as a sovereign act of the North American government, but criticized the way in which the measure has been explored in the Brazilian political debate and its possible impacts on sovereignty and international cooperation.
A, pre-candidate for President of the Republic, will visit the White House this week and meet with President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State, Marco Rubio.
In a note released this Thursday (28), the entity expresses concern about the political reading of the decision in Brazil. “In light of the reality and Brazilian strategies for combating organized crime, the FBSP regrets that an issue with profound implications for Brazil’s sovereignty and autonomy, its economy, financial system and regional and international cooperation mechanisms, has been captured by the electoral dispute”, says an excerpt from the document.
Still according to the Forum, the measure, without considering the risks of unilateral exits from other nations to an economy the size of Brazil.”
The Forum also highlights the importance of cooperation between the two countries in combating organized crime. “Brazil and the USA have a long tradition of police cooperation and have acted in a coordinated manner for decades, with emphasis on exchanging intelligence information and combating money laundering, which must continue.”
Internally, the FBSP warns of simplified approaches to combating criminal organizations.
“Internally, the support expressed by many politicians for the measure demonstrates reductionist and detached views of the real tasks that the Public Power needs to put into practice to retake territories and regulate markets and sectors used by organized crime, such as fintechs, bets, cryptoactives, among other sectors”, concludes the note.

The Brazilian Public Security Forum (FBSP) considers the classification, by the US Department of State, of the Primeiro Comando da Capital and the Comando Vermelho as terrorist organizations as a sovereign decision of the North American government, which concerns the way in which that country will deal, in its legal and legal terms, with the transnational connections and impacts of the activity of these criminal organizations. However, in light of reality and Brazilian strategies for combating organized crime, the FBSP regrets that an issue with profound implications for Brazil’s sovereignty and autonomy, its economy, financial system and regional and international cooperation mechanisms, has been captured by the electoral dispute and the North American measure encouraged as a solution to a much more complex problem, without considering the risks of unilateral departures from other nations to an economy the size of Brazil’s.
Brazil and the USA have a long tradition of police cooperation and have acted in a coordinated manner for decades, with emphasis on exchanging intelligence information and combating money laundering, which must continue. However, internally, the support expressed by many politicians for the measure demonstrates reductionist and detached views of the real tasks that the Public Power needs to put into practice to retake territories and regulate markets and sectors used by organized crime, such as Fintechs, Bets, Cryptoactives, among other sectors.
