Brazilian Government Denies Failures in Fight Against CV and PCC

The government of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva responded late on Wednesday to the accusations made by the administration of Donald Trump, which claimed that Brazil failed to fight the criminal factions. In an official note, the Brazilian government refuted any allegations that there are flaws or omissions in confronting transnational organized crime. The response comes after the Estados Unidos classify the Red Command (CV) and the First Command of the Capital (PCC) as terrorist organizations and criticize the Brazilian action.

The Lula government’s demonstration was released after a document sent to the US Congress on Tuesday assessed that the Brazilian administration had failed to confront the factions. According to the US, while other countries take courageous measures, Brazil would have allowed it to become a center of cocaine distribution. The Brazilian government, however, rejected the evaluation and presented data on its public safety actions.

Anti-facility law and police operations highlighted

In response, the Brazilian government cited the Antifaction Law, created in 2026 after a project sent to Congresso Nacional. The legislation is pointed out as a milestone in hardening against organizações criminosas. In addition, the text mentions the “tens of thousands” of police operations carried out, which the government says have imposed billions in damages on the factions.

The Ministry of Justice and Public Security (MJSP) reaffirmed that the fight against organized crime is a priority of the Federal Government. The briefcase highlighted that the actions have been conducted on a permanent basis, through intelligence, investigation, integration between security forces and international and legal cooperation. The note did not detail the exact amounts of damage caused to the factions, but emphasized the scope of the operations.

Context of American criticism

The criticism of Brazil is contained in an annual document sent by the government of the Estados Unidos to its Congress on September 15. The list identifies countries that the U.S. considers to be the largest producers and transit of drugs. Brazil does not integrate the relationship of 23 countries mentioned, but has been the subject of lateral criticism in the text.

The American document estimated that Lula’s management would have failed in the confrontation with the CV and the PCC. The factions were recently designated as terrorist organizations by the Estados Unidos. The mention of Brazil generated an immediate reaction from Brazilian authorities, who classified the position as political-electoral.

Reaction of Brazilian authorities

Earlier, representatives of the Ministry of Justice and the Federal Police heard by Folha de S.Paulo assessed how political-electoral the mention of Brazil by the Trump administration. The evaluation suggests that the criticisms may be linked to the internal political context of the Estados Unidos, although the source has not detailed the reasons for this interpretation.

The official response of the Brazilian government, however, avoided entering into a direct confrontation with the US administration. The focus was to reaffirm public security actions and international cooperation. The MJSP stressed that the confrontation with organized crime is a state policy, not subject to political variations.

Impact for the reader

The accusations of the Estados Unidos and the response of the Brazilian government have a direct repercussion on the international image of the country. The classification of the CV and the CCP as terrorist organizations may affect foreign cooperation and investment agreements. For the ordinary citizen, the debate reinforces the importance of public security policies and the fight against drug trafficking.

The Lula government seeks to demonstrate that it is acting effectively against the factions, citing numbers of operations and the creation of specific laws. The response also signals that Brazil will not passively accept external criticism without presenting its own data. The outcome of this diplomatic impasse is still open, but the Brazilian position was clear: there is no omission in confronting organized crime.
