PCC Leader Tuta Transferred to Brasília Prison After Bolivia Capture

Brazilian authorities transferred Marcos Roberto de Almeida, alias Tuta, a key figure in the Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC) criminal organization, from Bolivia to Brasília. Captured in Bolivia on May 16th, 2025, for using false documents, Tuta was handed over to the Brazilian Federal Police in Corumbá, Mato Grosso do Sul. He is serving a 12-year sentence for organized crime, money laundering, and drug trafficking. The transfer to the Federal Penitentiary in Brasília ensures both logistical efficiency and security, as his predecessor, Marcola, is also incarcerated there. The operation involved close collaboration between Brazilian and Bolivian authorities, highlighting successful international cooperation in combating organized crime. This swift action demonstrates a strong commitment to justice and public safety.
