The Facts

  • The US Treasury sanctioned two Brazilian individuals, three companies based in Brazil and one company based in Portugal over alleged links to the PCC.
  • The sanctioned individuals are Victor Henrique de Oliveira Shimada and Stella Stefanie Nunes Henrique de Oliveira.
  • The companies named in the sanctions are Victory Trading, Pixwave, Wave Construções Inteligentes, and Portugal-based Avenidas Flutuantes.
  • US authorities said Shimada acted as a link between PCC operatives in Florida and international drug traffickers, and that the network used the US financial system to launder proceeds and move funds back to Brazil through cryptocurrency.
  • US reports said the alleged laundering network moved more than $30 million from international drug trafficking and other illicit activity.
  • The sanctions block property and interests in property under US jurisdiction and prohibit US persons from transacting with the sanctioned people and companies.
  • Multiple reports described the sanctions as the first US sanctions action taken after Washington designated the PCC and Comando Vermelho as terrorist organizations.
  • Brazilian reporting says Shimada is also under investigation in Brazil in the Corinthians 'Vai de Bet' case, which includes money-laundering allegations.
