There is a Third Thing: an interview with the leader of Brazil’s largest organized crime syndicate, Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC)
from inside:
This zine features an interview with Marcos ‘Marcolo’ Camacho, the incarcerated leader of the Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC). The PCC is Brazil’s largest organized crime syndicate, and according to some the largest drug operation in all of Latin America.
The re-publishing of this interview is meant neither to condone nor condemn this group, and any moral judgements are left as an exercise for the reader. Instead, we are interested in celebrating the themes of nihilistic action and insurrectionary struggle found in this text. The PCC was founded by prisoners and its leadership continues to operate mainly from within prisons throughout Brazil.
The original interview was published by O Globo, a Brazilian newspaper based out of Rio de Janeiro, with a new English translation by the editor of this zine. A brief history of the PCC written by Down and Out distro has been included.
