i have heard of the Gangs and their power, but not PCC in particular. I remember reading about how Brazil prison gang members used trained homing pigeons that would carry cell phone parts and drop them in the prison yard, and then the prisoners would put the cell phones together, so they could communicate to gang members on the outside.
@@hirogochitomayto7018 it's true! They also use women to carry it inside their genitals, men also do it, pingeons and whatever it takes. Brazilian crime is mostly controlled and receive order that comes from inside the jails.
Btw, this faction was created after the police massacred almost an entire over populated prison block in a day bc of a riot that started due to a football related fight, basically, the police created them. If you wanna know more the prison was called Carandiru.
Just so you guys know, there was a report that said that if the PCC were to be in the Brazilian Stock Exchange, ít would be the 16th largest company in Brazil. They are massive.
i am from sao paulo and grew up there in the nineties and till the mid 2000s. The truth o the matter is that it used to be a very dangerous city and is no longer so due in large part to the PCC taking over the entire city and vanquishing all their rivals, alongside some good governance here and there at the state and municipal level over the years. Sao Paulo is the safest major city in all of latin america and murder rates in baltimore and chicago are higher. Considering it is a metropolitan area of almost 20 million people that is pretty impressive. To be fair the city does face many many challenges but is the best city in Brazil by faaaar. It is a hidden gem and I'm glad people have this distorterd vision of it as a warzone, secrets are best kept secrets anyway. 011 for life.
@@cripbk2147, it's not, in Brazil the richest man is owner of Burger King, Kraft Heinz and Budweiser, Jorge Paulo Lemann , the second is Eduardo Saverin friend's of Mark Zuckerberg one of the founders of Facebook, then Marcel Herrmann Telles. Also the Safra's family is really rich too, it's a jewish banker family, they own a lot of business in the world, like one of the biggest banks in Swiss, a lot of buildings in Lodon like Gherkin, etc.
Man, they're definitively not richer than the richest man on the country. I'm pretty sure Silvio Santos is far way more rich than them, they're just organized.
Friend, the only countries far as I know with my long and massive study which doesn't renders its population in some level of poverty, are countries like Norway, Finland, Sweden or Switzerland. All the rest is literally in troubles about poverty, including the US. Check Detroit for that.
Empovirishment, segregation, lack of opportunity and mass incarceration. America already has one of those problems, in the form of how much it loves mass incarceration. It can still stop the other 3.
I never heard of this particular gang. I also like how the narrator states the PCC redefines what a gang is but uses words like multi national business,trade union and similar words,implying the only real difference is good intent.
In a U.S. context the PCC would be like a combination of the Mafia and street gangs. The difference in Brazil is that gangs (inside and outside prison) are not racially segregated. Whereas in the U.S. gangs and criminal organizations form almost exclusively along racial or ethnic lines. The classic movie Cidade De Deus illustrates how gang wars in Brazil have nothing to do with race. The gangs in Brazil are all a mixture of whites, blacks, mixed and a few indigenous. Anyone can rise to high ranks.
@@darthtepes575 True! I would add ..Brazil is unique as it has the second largest drug market in the western hemisphere, after the U.S. So Brazilian drug cartels can reap enormous wealth, without being heavily reliant upon exporting to other countries, as the Mexican cartels are.
Where I live the PCC is the Parochial Church Council. I knew they could be tough, especially the elderly chair Mrs Braithwaite (74,) but I never thought they'd go this far
I'm seeing many foreigners romanticizing the pcc in Brazil but you don't know how many innocent lives this faction has already taken and is taking, many families destroyed by drug trafficking and the violence it generates

I'm Brazilian from Rio de Janeiro and I can say that the PCC is the calmest gang in Brazil, the least violent, the others like the Red Command are much worse!!!!
Interesting video, normally we only hear about Mexican cartels.... But Brazil has got quite a lot of gangs too. PCC is big in Sao Paulo, they almost have a monopoly there. Which I heard creates more "peace" to the city compared to Rio de Janeiro for example, where there is much more rivalry between the gangs ( CV, TCP, ADA, Militia) and there for more violence. @VICE I think it would be definitely interesting to make a documentary about the gang rivalry in Rio de Janeiro too!
@@krazyjnva2up2down55You use fancy words for gangs, in the end it all comes down to the same thing. ( an organised group of criminals ). So I just keep calling them gangs.
@@paulotendou9165 Latin American criminal organization are MUCH worse then gangs in America. Latin gangs in America like the Mexican mafia , MS13 , 18th steeet are much more deadlier then bloods & crips
While the rest of the American continent advances with the decriminalization of drugs, especially cannabis, in Brazil the drug war policy is getting worse, because many government authorities are financed through criminal factions such as the PCC and neo-Penteconstal churches (those responsible for legalizing money from organized crime)
That is the parallel government of Brazil!! I’d say they do a better job than government, they’re the ones who make things work, they’re the ones who keep hoods safe in São Paulo. Safe from robbers, rapists and other crimes.
Actually, not. I'm from São Paulo, and things did get fucked up back in May 2006, but here in the state, they're discrete. They mostly avoid confrontations with the police, and vice-versa, and no other gang have such sizeable amount of members to rival them within the state borders, which make scenes that are ratherly common in Rio de Janeiro, like the armored vehicles raiding the favelas, both the policemen and the drug dealers fighting each other using assault rifles and freeways closed due to the gunfights, virtually non existent here.

Ave been following this pcc thing and I can tell you for real am humbled by the operation this People are running even behind bars. I like this type of documentaries....
In May 2006, the PCC killed 24 police officers. The police killed 564 civilians, most of them were not pcc nor criminals. It was just a blind revenge on any vulnerable person. The pcc grows stronger every single day after that.
@kholiqul Syafaat, We actually have a militia group in Rio; one of the biggest criminal organizations in the state. They´re called, justice league, and their leader? a former Police officer AKA BATMAN. Who DIED in 2017 in a shootout with police. VICE showed the tip of the iceberg from a tourist boat. They´re going to get the Pulitzer Prize, once they dive to show the depth.
There are a European country's worth of Brazilian s living REALLY well. Homicides are down over a 1/3 under Bolsonaro and the police put down about 5000 PCC types per yr. Their police have a way better handle on sh than Mexico.
'hundreds were killed in the fighting [when pcc organized riots and attacks against police, in may 2006]'.. you just forgot to say that most of the casualties were caused by police, who killed around 600 people in sao paulo without even knowing who those people were -- most of them, people who were just working or walking in poor areas. so please dont forget to say that the brazilian police forces are also a crueltless crime organization held by the state, even or more violent than pcc
Pcc is way worse even though the Brazilian police looks like a joke they dont kill criminals they kill innocents but dont try to compare it with the pcc
@@user-mp3lt9ib8d polices casualties of innocent people is worst just because of the fact that they exist,in theory, to protect society.they have turned basically into a criminal gang held by the state and paid by us

No doubt. The government is always involved with illegal activities. This is how these gangs get their support. They always have connections on the inside.
Still nothing on Cuba? Very little on Venezuela either. Doesn't fit into their narrative. They continue to talk about Colombia and Brazil because they think of them as right wing.
PCC is not just a gang. It is a international organization and they influential is huge in our lives here in Brazil. Everybody knows Marcola, everybody knows a member. We see their simbol, YIN YANG everywhere in form of grafitti. It is basically a lifestyle.
The world will know the PCC and CV in the next few years as they BBQ the Meixcan cartels and remove them from Colombia (the source of the cocaine) www.primicias.ec/noticias/en-exclusiva/comandos-brasilenos-acechan-frontera-ecuatoriana/ Both the CV and PCC PCC already dominate Paraguay, Bolivia, Peru and the Eastern part of Colombia
This Vice reporting took a lot of nuance from PCC's history. They're the largest and most profitable drug organization in Brazil, but also, they're the less ruthless of them all. Marcola may have ordered some terrorist attacks, but after them, governors seemingly started working with him in the backstage, and then criminality decreased by a lot in São Paulo. You can't compare it to a state like Rio, where the CV controls the majority of the state, and shootings, murders, and robberies are rampant. The situation gets even worse after considering the other half of Rio is dominated by rogue-cop militias, which are backed up by the president, Bolsonaro. These militias are also involved in judges' and politicians' assassinations. PCC is the lesser of all evils.
Finally someone I can say is speaking facts. I still dont understand why they are calling Brazilian Groups gangs. I assure you PCC is a old fashioned CARTEL that has been upgraded and the Comando Vermelho is a NARCO GUERRILLA. If PCC and CV are gangs what in then WORLD are they doing in Colombia threating Mexican Cartels like CDS and CJNG for the dominance of the pacific routes 😂😂 www.primicias.ec/noticias/en-exclusiva/comandos-brasilenos-acechan-frontera-ecuatoriana/ Cant forget the PCC and CV dominate in Paraguay, Peru, and Bolivia also.

God I love Brazil. You can literally buy whatever you want there. That’s not something I ever saw in Mexico. Brazilians will sell you anything, if you’ve got the money, and know the right people.
I´m brazilian, I was born in sao paulo, and I can say confident you guys used many small video parts coming from rio de janeiro and conflicts of other gangs,. dispite thisgang is spread out all over brazilians prisons, a planty of image information there was no conection with PCC, another thing PCC was not created just to give protection and organize the prisons
They would still be earning a shitload of money with the contraband of the now legal drugs. Cigarettes are legal, and about 20% of their income comes from smuggling it from Paraguay to Brazil. Some of their associates have actually abandoned the drug trafficking in favour of selling cigarettes, since it became more profitable and way less dangerous.

The scary thing is that the PCC has a close collaboration with the Italian 'Ndrangheta, which is the most powerful organization in Europe (60 billion euros per year), they manage to buy cocaine from Brazil continuously and supply them with a lot of money...
How powerful is the Ndrangheta? Are they able to wage war against their own government like the PCC or Mexican Cartels? Or even get The United States to blacklist them as Terrorist organization? I don't think so.
@@yanijuarez2118 They have not waged wars since the early 2000s, the ndrangheta has built its wealth and power on silence and not attracting attention, that's why few people know it, you can search on the internet it's interesting

@@yanijuarez2118 They're powerful in older ways; so they don't ever have to. Should the PCC last another 2 centuries; they might get close to the level that 'Ndragheta is on.

i have heard of the Gangs and their power, but not PCC in particular. I remember reading about how Brazil prison gang members used trained homing pigeons that would carry cell phone parts and drop them in the prison yard, and then the prisoners would put the cell phones together, so they could communicate to gang members on the outside.

This is the kind of content I want from VICE.
I grew up in Sao Paulo where PCC started and I can say this documentary is 100% true
i am from sao paulo and grew up there in the nineties and till the mid 2000s. The truth o the matter is that it used to be a very dangerous city and is no longer so due in large part to the PCC taking over the entire city and vanquishing all their rivals, alongside some good governance here and there at the state and municipal level over the years. Sao Paulo is the safest major city in all of latin america and murder rates in baltimore and chicago are higher. Considering it is a metropolitan area of almost 20 million people that is pretty impressive. To be fair the city does face many many challenges but is the best city in Brazil by faaaar. It is a hidden gem and I'm glad people have this distorterd vision of it as a warzone, secrets are best kept secrets anyway. 011 for life.
When drug trafficking money makes more money than the richest man in the country, this is what happens.
@Anderson Kennedy its like that all over Latin America
@@cripbk2147, it's not, in Brazil the richest man is owner of Burger King, Kraft Heinz and Budweiser, Jorge Paulo Lemann
, the second is Eduardo Saverin
friend's of Mark Zuckerberg one of the founders of Facebook, then Marcel Herrmann Telles. Also the Safra's family is really rich too, it's a jewish banker family, they own a lot of business in the world, like one of the biggest banks in Swiss, a lot of buildings in Lodon like Gherkin, etc.
Man, they're definitively not richer than the richest man on the country. I'm pretty sure Silvio Santos is far way more rich than them, they're just organized.
Finally a documentary from VICE that doesn't blames Brazil and really shows the faces of these monsters, great job
This is what happens when a country renders its population impoverished. This is the road that America is currently on.
Friend, the only countries far as I know with my long and massive study which doesn't renders its population in some level of poverty, are countries like Norway, Finland, Sweden or Switzerland. All the rest is literally in troubles about poverty, including the US. Check Detroit for that.
Empovirishment, segregation, lack of opportunity and mass incarceration.
America already has one of those problems, in the form of how much it loves mass incarceration. It can still stop the other 3.
I never heard of this particular gang. I also like how the narrator states the PCC redefines what a gang is but uses words like multi national business,trade union and similar words,implying the only real difference is good intent.
In a U.S. context the PCC would be like a combination of the Mafia and street gangs. The difference in Brazil is that gangs (inside and outside prison) are not racially segregated. Whereas in the U.S. gangs and criminal organizations form almost exclusively along racial or ethnic lines. The classic movie Cidade De Deus illustrates how gang wars in Brazil have nothing to do with race. The gangs in Brazil are all a mixture of whites, blacks, mixed and a few indigenous. Anyone can rise to high ranks.
@@finn3102 Interesting,especially the racial aspect of Brazilian gangs.
The biggest cartel of latin america outside México
@@darthtepes575 True! I would add ..Brazil is unique as it has the second largest drug market in the western hemisphere, after the U.S. So Brazilian drug cartels can reap enormous wealth, without being heavily reliant upon exporting to other countries, as the Mexican cartels are.

I'm Brazilian from Rio de Janeiro and I can say that the PCC is the calmest gang in Brazil, the least violent, the others like the Red Command are much worse!!!!
Interesting video, normally we only hear about Mexican cartels.... But Brazil has got quite a lot of gangs too. PCC is big in Sao Paulo, they almost have a monopoly there. Which I heard creates more "peace" to the city compared to Rio de Janeiro for example, where there is much more rivalry between the gangs ( CV, TCP, ADA, Militia) and there for more violence. @VICE I think it would be definitely interesting to make a documentary about the gang rivalry in Rio de Janeiro too!

VICE are the best when it comes to drugs and crime pieces
While the rest of the American continent advances with the decriminalization of drugs, especially cannabis, in Brazil the drug war policy is getting worse, because many government authorities are financed through criminal factions such as the PCC and neo-Penteconstal churches (those responsible for legalizing money from organized crime)
In 2020, PCC No 2, Fuminho was arrested here in Mozambique. You know what it means ...

That is the parallel government of Brazil!! I’d say they do a better job than government, they’re the ones who make things work, they’re the ones who keep hoods safe in São Paulo. Safe from robbers, rapists and other crimes.
Sounds like "City of God" on steroids
Actually, not. I'm from São Paulo, and things did get fucked up back in May 2006, but here in the state, they're discrete. They mostly avoid confrontations with the police, and vice-versa, and no other gang have such sizeable amount of members to rival them within the state borders, which make scenes that are ratherly common in Rio de Janeiro, like the armored vehicles raiding the favelas, both the policemen and the drug dealers fighting each other using assault rifles and freeways closed due to the gunfights, virtually non existent here.

PCC is not just a gang. It is a international organization and they influential is huge in our lives here in Brazil. Everybody knows Marcola, everybody knows a member. We see their simbol, YIN YANG everywhere in form of grafitti. It is basically a lifestyle.

Both the CV and PCC PCC already dominate Paraguay, Bolivia, Peru and the Eastern part of Colombia
Finally some real news.
Still better organised than the government.
This Vice reporting took a lot of nuance from PCC's history. They're the largest and most profitable drug organization in Brazil, but also, they're the less ruthless of them all. Marcola may have ordered some terrorist attacks, but after them, governors seemingly started working with him in the backstage, and then criminality decreased by a lot in São Paulo. You can't compare it to a state like Rio, where the CV controls the majority of the state, and shootings, murders, and robberies are rampant.
The situation gets even worse after considering the other half of Rio is dominated by rogue-cop militias, which are backed up by the president, Bolsonaro. These militias are also involved in judges' and politicians' assassinations.
PCC is the lesser of all evils.
Finally someone I can say is speaking facts. I still dont understand why they are calling Brazilian Groups gangs. I assure you PCC is a old fashioned CARTEL that has been upgraded and the Comando Vermelho is a NARCO GUERRILLA. If PCC and CV are gangs what in then WORLD are they doing in Colombia threating Mexican Cartels like CDS and CJNG for the dominance of the pacific routes 😂😂
