🇧🇷🚩💥⛏🌳 — Indigenous peoples, researchers and investigators allege that the largest criminal faction on the continent, the Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC), acts as the “supervisor” of illegal mining in Yanomami lands, in Roraima

The members of the PCC would be responsible for supplying inputs and machines for the mining activity, for controlling drug trafficking and prostitution in the small villages, called “currutelas”.

“Narco-mining has allowed the formation of better-equipped structures, with weapons and more violent approaches to indigenous peoples”, shows the report "Yanomami Under Attack",

The PCC's main interest in Roraima would be border control, to transport drugs and weapons. “Actions in the mining zone are based more on the idea of ​​controlling the territory, operating as an armed arm of illegal mining,” says a report by the Brazilian Public Security Forum (FBSP).
