EE.UU. declara terroristas a dos grupos criminales brasileños

The US government has officially labeled the PCC (Comando Vermelho) and Comando Penal Civil (PCC) as terrorist organizations, citing their role in widespread violence and drug trafficking. This declaration, announced by the State Department, has drawn criticism from Brazil, which views it as an infringement on national jurisdiction. DW Español reports that the move follows growing concerns about transnational crime in the region. The BBC notes that the groups operate in multiple countries, including Venezuela and Colombia, complicating regional security efforts. Analysts warn that such designations could provoke retaliatory actions or hinder cooperation in combating organized crime.
