Topics
Danny Golds和Sean Williams: 本集讲述了巴西帮派PCC(首都第一指挥部)在短短30年内如何从监狱足球赛中崛起,成为拉丁美洲最强大的犯罪组织之一。他们通过暴力手段在监狱中确立统治地位,并通过严格的行为准则和兄弟情谊吸引成员。PCC初期并不注重金钱,更注重建立神秘感和兄弟情谊,但随着发展,他们逐渐将触角伸向毒品交易、银行抢劫等领域,并与国际犯罪组织建立联系。PCC的成功与其内部的组织纪律、残酷的暴力以及对低层成员的关照密不可分。他们甚至建立了平行司法体系,在一定程度上降低了圣保罗的犯罪率。2006年5月,PCC对圣保罗发起了大规模袭击,瘫痪了城市,展示了其强大的实力。此后,PCC继续扩张,涉足合法商业,并与国际犯罪组织建立联系,成为一个庞大的国际犯罪组织。然而,PCC内部也存在权力斗争和纪律松懈的问题。 Danny Golds和Sean Williams: 本集详细讲述了PCC的起源、发展和扩张,以及其内部的权力斗争和组织结构。从监狱足球赛的暴力事件到2006年对圣保罗的大规模袭击,再到与国际犯罪组织的合作,PCC展现了其惊人的组织能力和残酷的暴力手段。同时,节目也探讨了巴西社会环境对PCC崛起的影响,以及PCC内部的矛盾和挑战。

Shownotes Transcript

In less than 3 decades, a Brazilian gang formed during a prison soccer tournament has become one of, if not the most powerful gang in all of Latin America, branching out from the jails cells, to the streets of Sao Paolo, to all over Latin America and working hand in hand with groups like the Ndranghetta, Russian mobsters, and a who’s who of global organized crime.

This is the story of how the PCC, or The First Command of the Capital, took on the Brazilian state with everything from riots to attacks on police stations, holding the entire city of Sao Paolo, population 20 million, hostage and has since grown outwards in unrivaled expansion.
