➡️ According to OFAC records, the PCC was placed on the United States’ primary financial sanctions list, which is used to freeze assets, restrict transactions, and block individuals or groups from accessing the American financial system. The organization is listed both for its involvement in international drug trafficking and under anti-terrorism sanctions authorities. The Comando Vermelho also appears on the same list under the category used by the U.S. Treasury to designate global terrorists.

➡️ In both cases, U.S. government records identify the organizations as a “transnational terrorist group” and a “criminal organization.” Inclusion on the list allows Washington to impose financial restrictions, freeze any assets under U.S. jurisdiction, and increase pressure on individuals, companies, or institutions that maintain ties with the groups.
