Intro. The Red Command (CV) is one of the largest and oldest criminal factions in Brazil, originating in Rio de Janeiro in the 1970s. Below, the main points about the organization updated for 2026:
1. Origin and History Foundation: It emerged at the Cândido Mendes Penal Institute, in Ilha Grande (RJ), between 1979 and the early 80s. Context: It was born from the forced coexistence between common prisoners and political prisoners (left-wing militants) during the military dictatorship. This union brought methods of organization and collectivity to common crime. Evolution: Initially called the Red Phalanx, the group was consolidated under the motto "Peace, Justice and Freedom" .
2. Performance and Structure in 2026 Territorial Domination: Unlike factions such as the PCC, which focus more on logistics, the CV prioritizes physical and armed control of favelas and communities. National Presence: As of 2026, the faction maintains operations in at least 25 Brazilian states through alliances with local groups. Activities: Your main sources
