It has also raised questions about possible consequences for companies in other sectors of the economy and for individuals, who could become targets of discretionary, or arbitrary, action by Donald Trump\u2019s administration, according to experts interviewed by Valor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"56\" data-block-id=\"5\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">The United States could also use the designation of PCC and CV to tighten the issuance of U.S. visas to Brazilians, although such a move is not expected to become a general rule given the economic nature of immigration decisions, said Fabiano Rocha, a data scientist and immigration specialist who is CEO and founder of Jumpstart.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"36\" data-block-id=\"6\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">\u201cAny restrictive measures would not be sustained for very long because of the mutual economic dependence between the two countries. The migration market is very resilient, and the force that drives it is economic,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"21\" data-block-id=\"7\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">The U.S. decision also raises questions about the impact on Brazil-U.S. relations, especially in the exchange of information involving police investigations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"47\" data-block-id=\"8\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">The issue is that the terrorist designation moves the criminal groups out of the strictly police sphere of security and into a more rigorous national defense framework, Lincoln Gakiya, a S\u00e3o Paulo state prosecutor considered Brazil\u2019s leading authority in the fight against PCC, told newspaper O Globo.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"2\" data-block-id=\"9\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\"><strong>Intelligence agencies<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"43\" data-block-id=\"10\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">From that standpoint, the immediate impact of the U.S. initiative lies in the change in the profile of the U.S. agencies with which Brazil is likely to cooperate, said Thiago Bottino, a law professor at Getulio Vargas Foundation (FGV) in Rio de Janeiro.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"54\" data-block-id=\"11\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">Under the new definition, investigations related to PCC and CV would no longer be led by agencies focused on combating drug trafficking, such as the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), or by the Department of Justice (DoJ). Instead, they would involve intelligence and counterterrorism agencies such as the CIA and the FBI\u2019s counterterrorism division.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"36\" data-block-id=\"12\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">Gakiya told O Globo that this point worries him, because information-sharing is currently agile and that flow could be impaired. In some cases, U.S. authorities could invoke secrecy and stop sharing information with their Brazilian counterparts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"38\" data-block-id=\"14\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">Bottino, from FGV, considers the new classification inappropriate, since agencies such as the CIA \u201care focused on understanding and combating a phenomenon that is different from the phenomenon of a criminal organization, which sells drugs and controls territories.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"42\" data-block-id=\"15\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">\u201cA terrorist organization does not want to dominate or invade territories, as PCC and CV do,\u201d he said. Terrorist organizations have political, ideological, or religious motivations, experts say. PCC and CV, by contrast, have an economic purpose: making money from illegal activities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"46\" data-block-id=\"16\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">Analysts also see the classification as having the potential to influence Brazil\u2019s public debate, with possible effects on this year\u2019s elections. The State Department announced on Thursday (28) that PCC and CV would be listed as terrorist organizations, a measure that takes effect on Friday (5).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"50\" data-block-id=\"17\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\"><a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/valorinternational.globo.com\/politics\/news\/2026\/05\/27\/oval-office-photo-gives-flavio-bolsonaro-fresh-political-ammunition.ghtml\">The designation followed a visit by Senator Fl\u00e1vio Bolsonaro<\/a>\u00a0(Liberal Party, Rio de Janeiro), a presidential pre-candidate in the October election, to the White House, where he was received by President Trump on May 26. The new definition of the criminal groups is likely to be used in the campaign.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"2\" data-block-id=\"18\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\"><strong>Compliance risks<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"64\" data-block-id=\"19\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">In the short term, companies and the financial system in Brazil are trying to understand the effects of the measure. Experts say the designation could broaden the reach of U.S. authorities over activities carried out in Brazil and expose Brazilian companies to investigations, while also forcing them to improve their compliance systems. In that sense, the U.S. decision carries risk and could add costs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"64\" data-block-id=\"20\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">For Leandro Piquet Carneiro, coordinator of Escola de Seguran\u00e7a Multidimensional (School of Multidimensional Security) and professor at the University of S\u00e3o Paulo\u2019s Institute of International Relations, the risk of potential sanctions against companies could have the effect of strengthening compliance rules in Brazil, making the business environment safer and making it harder for \u201ccrime as a service\u201d operations that involve hundreds of illegal businesses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"18\" data-block-id=\"22\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">\u201cThe classification could also add a new layer to existing [bilateral] cooperation, without excluding traditional channels,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"26\" data-block-id=\"23\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">The measure could, however, affect companies that operate legally but at some point did business with partners linked to criminal activities without necessarily identifying that connection.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"67\" data-block-id=\"24\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">Bottino, from FGV, shares that view. \u201cIt is very common for these criminal organizations to infiltrate legal business activities so they can launder money from crime. And, many times, companies that do business with other companies, other funds and other managers are not aware of that. It is not that simple or easy, because they are dealing with people who want to hide that origin,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"54\" data-block-id=\"25\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">He continued: \u201cThese companies that at some point may have done business with others that could be related to criminal activity are subject to losing their bank accounts [in the U.S.], having their accounts frozen, facing investigations, eventually being placed on lists and being prohibited from doing business in the United States and Europe.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"6\" data-block-id=\"27\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\"><strong>Pix and banks come under scrutiny<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"31\" data-block-id=\"28\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">Finance Minister Dario Durigan told Globonews that the U.S. decision could harm Pix. He raised the possibility that U.S. courts could pressure banks operating in Brazil that receive payments through Pix.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"26\" data-block-id=\"30\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">Durigan also said costs in the national financial system could rise, since banks will need to review rules and, in some cases, adopt new compliance measures.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"42\" data-block-id=\"31\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">The minister also said there is a risk that Brazil could be suspected of being a territory where terrorist activities take place, which would have macroeconomic implications, including an increase in country risk and damage to the attraction of foreign direct investment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"69\" data-block-id=\"32\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">In the market, however, the initial assessment was that the practical effects of the measure on domestic assets in the short term should come more through political repercussions than through an outflow of funds from Brazil or restrictions on investment in the country. Overall, financial market participants see the Trump administration\u2019s action as negative, but not something likely to change the course of domestic markets, at least for now.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"38\" data-block-id=\"33\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">The Brazilian Association of Banks (ABBC), however, acknowledged that the measure could affect relationships between Brazilian and U.S. banks. The Brazilian Association of Fintechs (ABFintechs) said the U.S. government\u2019s action has direct and immediate impacts on the sector.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"2\" data-block-id=\"34\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\"><strong>New pressure<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"58\" data-block-id=\"35\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">Oliver Stuenkel, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington and fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School&#8217;s Belfer Center, said the U.S. decision changes how Brazil is perceived and introduces a counterterrorism and Pentagon-related dimension into the bilateral relationship, something that, in his words, \u201cwas not part of the relationship between the two countries.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"45\" data-block-id=\"36\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">\u201cThis will also require an adjustment in how Brazil deals, from now on, with this issue of combating terrorism. This is an issue the government will have to face,\u201d said Stuenkel, who is also a professor of International Relations at FGV in S\u00e3o Paulo.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"42\" data-block-id=\"37\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">Piquet Carneiro, from USP, believes the long-standing bilateral relationship between the two countries may still prevail. He pointed to the Foreign Affairs Ministry\u2019s initial silence as an indication of the careful analysis Brazil is conducting in the face of this new reality.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"45\" data-block-id=\"39\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">\u201cBrazil and the U.S. have a long-standing relationship, with established channels of cooperation in defense, security and criminal justice that are crucial for both countries. It is a channel that is open all the time, and Brazil is very important to U.S. strategies,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"29\" data-block-id=\"40\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">But he cautioned that the classification could also be used in a discretionary way, considering President Trump\u2019s nature, and could even lead to controversial actions against politicians or individuals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"45\" data-block-id=\"41\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">Along similar lines, researcher Vitor de Pieri, a professor at UERJ\u2019s Institute of Geography, said the measure is part of a broader strategy to expand the U.S. security agenda in Latin America in a context of global geopolitical dispute and the region\u2019s growing strategic importance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"67\" data-block-id=\"42\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">Looking at precedents, Pieri cited Plan Colombia, implemented in the South American country in the late 1990s under the argument of fighting drug trafficking and armed groups, but which also expanded the U.S. presence in South America through military cooperation, intelligence and financial assistance. In his view, both the war on drugs and the fight against terrorism show how security agendas are linked to broader geopolitical interests.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"49\" data-block-id=\"43\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">The risk of diplomatic strain, according to the UERJ professor, grows if the measure is used as an instrument of political pressure on Brazil. In that scenario, issues such as border control, the Amazon, critical infrastructure and mineral resources could be folded into a broader logic of hemispheric security.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"55\" data-block-id=\"44\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">\u201cThe main debate for Brazil is not only the fight against organized crime, but the preservation of its autonomy to define how to confront this problem,\u201d Pieri said. \u201cAlthough the measure targets specific criminal organizations, its effects tend to go beyond the sphere of public security and reach the business environment and the financial system.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"3\" data-block-id=\"45\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\"><strong>Visa policy<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"55\" data-block-id=\"46\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">The designation of the two criminal factions also allows the United States to tighten the issuance of U.S. visas to Brazilians. However, Rocha, the data scientist and immigration specialist, said the new classification should not lead to broad-based changes. He based his assessment on what he sees as the \u201ceconomic nature of U.S. immigration decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-column content-text active-extra-styles \" data-block-type=\"unstyled\" data-block-weight=\"61\" data-block-id=\"48\">\n<p class=\" content-text__container \" data-track-category=\"Link no Texto\" data-track-links=\"\">According to Rocha, the United States has a growing need for workers, and Brazil is one of the exporters of skilled labor to U.S. territory, surpassing even other Latin American countries such as Mexico.
