On July 1, 2026, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) announced the designation of two Brazilian nationals, three Brazilian companies, and one Portuguese company linked to the criminal organization Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC). The PCC is described as a major threat to U.S. national security, with operations in Florida and São Paulo that facilitate drug‑related money laundering. OFAC cited a 7‑month Chinese electronics distribution network that laundered over $190 million and a São Paulo node that moved more than $30 million via cryptocurrency. The action follows earlier OFAC sanctions and was carried out under Executive Orders 14059 and 13224. All property of the designated parties in the United States is now blocked, and U.S. persons may face civil or criminal penalties for violations.
