The First Command of the Capital (FCC)[1] is a Brazilian criminal organization established in São Paulo in 1993, and it's today considered the largest drug cartel in Brazil, with about 112,000 members.[2]


It established itself as an organization fighting against repression inside Brazilian prisons, in direct response to the state-sanctioned execution of 111 prisoners in the Carandirú massacre in 1992 by the military police.

Nowadays, the FCC acts essentially like any capitalist business, under a corporate structure with about 12 directors and about 1,000 managers, with the majority of their members receiving less than a minimum wage, and operating mainly for profit.
