Security & Strategic Review - May 2020

Brazil’s public security authorities were able to claim a victory in April with the capture of one of the criminals on the justice & public security ministry (MJSP)’s 2020 ‘most wanted’ list. On the run for two decades, Gilberto Aparecido dos Santos, known as ‘Fuminho’, was understood to be closely linked to the leadership of the Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC), Brazil’s largest drug trafficking organisation (DTO).
