The “Tuta” drug dealer, appointed as the leader of the First Command of the Capital (CCP), used fake information to hide in Bolivia and command faction drug trafficking direct from the neighboring country.
Prosecutor Lincoln Gakiya, from the Special Action Group for the Repression of Organized Crime of São Paulo (Gaeco), confirmed to CNN that the criminal and the organization used “Contraining” to deceive the authorities.
According to the prosecutor, who investigated the CCP for years, the faction disseminated the Lies that Tuta was dead and that he had been expelled from the CCP.
Marcos Roberto de Almeida had been on the run for five years And was arrested in the act by the Federal Police in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia, last Friday (16), while trying to renew a false Brazilian identity. After the arrest, he was transferred to Brazil and allocated to the Federal Penitentiary in Brasilia, the same unit where Marcola is.

Gakiya also explained why Tuta chose Bolivia as a refuge. The prosecutor states that the weaknesses of the country allow the permanence not only of Tuta, but from other faction leaders in the region.
Precisely because they found the possibility of hiding from the Brazilian authorities, usually counting on the collusion of the Bolivian authorities, living quietly with false documents.

Fugitive CCP leaders are in Bolivia
According to Gakiya, fugitive and loose leaders of the CCP are also hidden in Bolivia, where the faction maintains a kind of “Crime Embassy”.
The choice of the country for this remote office is based on the corruption capacity of local police, which would allow illegal activities without “disturbing” Brazilian traffickers .
Find out who the current CCP leaders are, who are not arrested:
- André de Oliveira Macedo, the André do Rap ;
- Patrick Uelinton Solomon, the Wrought ;
- Pedro Luiz da Silva Soares, the Jackal ;
- Sérgio Luiz de Freitas Filho, the Piss .
The prosecutor of Gaeco explained that forged and jackal are in Bolivia, but have no open arrest warrant, being graduates of the prison system. Already André do Rap and “Mijão” have and are considered fugitive.
Understand the arrest of Tuta
Tuta was arrested in Santa Cruz de la Sierra in a coordinated action between the Brazilian Federal Police (PF) and the special Lucha Fuerza against El Crial (Felcc) of Bolivia.
The arrest happened when Tuta tried to renew his documentation in Bolivia using a fake Brazilian document. Bolivian police found the fraud and called the Brazilian organs and the Interpol.
From this, Interpol identified that it was someone with a red alert . The PF was triggered by Interpol on the occurrence to check their databases and inform the Bolivian police accurately about the individual’s identity.
The use of the PF biometric base allowed the Bolivian police to combat drug trafficking to technically confirm the identity of those who were, enabling the detention for the use of false documents.
