THE expansion of Brazil’s largest faction around the world It is seen as a challenge by the Brazilian authorities. Many researchers define the First Capital Command (CCP) As a “multinational”, with hierarchical divisions, operational apparatus and exports with advanced logistics.
Recently, a report from the Ministry of Justice pointed to a partnership between the faction and its historic rival: the Red Command of Rio de Janeiro. However, investigations by the Federal Police indicate that this is not just that. And around the world the CCP allied with the ‘Italian mafia .
No wonder the name of an operation that runs in the PF of Paraná already with two phases is called “Mafiusi” (in reference to the mafia and mobsters).
The report of this investigation, to which the CNN He had access, shows a timeline and a thorough analysis that began in 2019, with a pen drive, which contained the recording of a meeting between CCP members in São Paulo, with mobsters.
“The recording is long and rich in details revealing the dynamics of Orcrim [organização criminosa] led by Jeferson Barcellos and the performance of the mobster organization ‘Nrangangueta in Brazil. In short, the main subjects are a payment of payment for a “work” recently performed by Jeferson Barcellos and his “team” in Paranaguá [PR]the murder of an individual from Paranaguá followed by the robbery of great cash paid by Assisi and the restart of Jeferson Barcellos ‘acting in international drug trafficking along with members of the mobster organization’ Nndrangheta in Brazil, ”says the PF.
This recording was within the inquiry “Operation Retis”. The inquiry says that the bond with the facts found was even more evident and detailed with the analysis of this content of a pen drive seized at that time. The item had a portable recorder containing the audio of a meeting between Nicola Assisi, an unidentified man, and Jefferson Barcellos de Oliveira, who was accompanied by another unidentified man (HNI), referring to him as “nephew.” The meeting would have taken place at the beginning of February 2019.
The Federal Police also analyzed images of the security circuit of the building where the meeting took place and identified those present.
The PF began connecting the CCP with the Italian mafia from the drugs seized in the port of Paranaguá, Paraná, the second largest port in Brazil.
At the House of Italian mobsters, a notebook containing notes of the number of drug contaminated containers in Porto was also seized. They were annotations regarding the accounting of values and the amount of moved cocaine loads, destination countries abroad, user nicknames in the Skyecc application, cocaine packages with the same emblem (“icon”) of those who were seized in the port of Paranaguá.
“Opposite to note since the relationship of the CCP criminal faction with the facts determined in the present investigation, both related to international drug trafficking and money laundering, has been proven,” says Deputy Eduardo Verza.
The PF points out that the elements obtained by breaking the secrecy of the telematic data obtained in the Retis operation showed that there was a section of cocaine being delivered in Paranaguá exactly during the early hours of 17/03/2020 and would be exported by the group headed by Jefferson Barcellos. “Therefore, there is no doubt that they came from Sao Paulo to Paranaguá for the purpose of supervising this criminal action in person,” says the 504 pages report of the PF.
The PF also had an award -winning collaboration that assisted in obtaining other evidence in the case.
Members of the mafia ‘Nndrangheta were the Italians Nicola Assisi and Patrick Assisi, who were arrested during the investigation on July 8, 2019, in Praia Grande (SP), by arrest warrant for extradition purposes issued by the Federal Supreme Court.
For the PF, it was evident that the two hired the CCP through Jefferson Barcellos to send cocaine from Paranaguá to Europe.
Mafiusi
The investigation that took place from Retis is conducted by the Paraná Sensitive Investigations Group (GISE) and points out three nuclei of this scheme: operational (trafficking); Leadership (coordination); and financial (money laundering).
She was triggered in December last year, with determination of arrest warrants and 35 search and seizure warrants. Some of these warrants were fulfilled in Italy through international cooperation and blockade of financial assets compared to 79 individuals and legal entities. The estimate of the values of the seized goods reaches the amount of R $ 126 million.
Among the prisoners was the leader appointed by PF, Willian Agati, called the “concierge of the CCP”, a kind of “do everything.” The initial representation of the PF was sent to the Federal Public Prosecution Service, which denounced the investigated to court.
He is identified as a “logistics contractor and drug supplier” and used the “boxer” nickname. He is the main target of this PF investigation.
