The PCC's presence in Portugal

SOL12 September 2026 at 12:57

The First Command of the Capital (PCC), a Brazilian criminal organization, is present in Portugal, according to the Brazilian Public Prosecutor's Office. According to the institution, the PCC is considered the largest transnational crime organization in the world.

The group's presence in Portuguese territory has been the subject of investigation by Brazilian authorities. The Public Prosecutor's Office states that the organization has expanded its operations beyond Brazil's borders.

The article suggests that there are statements or pronouncements from members of the organization about their international activities, inviting the reader to hear what they themselves say about their presence in Portugal.

Why this matters

This information is relevant for Portuguese readers as it indicates that one of the world's largest criminal organizations now operates in the country, potentially affecting public security and communities, especially those with ties to Brazil. The mention of Brazilian authorities suggests an extension of South American criminal networks into European territory.

Rare snake surprises breeders by having two heads capable of controlling the body equally

A two-headed ball python was born at a breeding facility in Eugene, Oregon (USA), and surprised breeders by demonstrating that both brains can equally control the shared body — something rare, since in most cases of dicephaly one head tends to be dominant. Both heads can drink water, flick their tongues, and react to touch independently, with the body responding to each one. The breeder Justin Stewart, 36 years old, told Creatorzine that he doesn't know if the heads are aware of each other, but stated: "They don't seem to mind it."
