Phone Images Indicate "Genocide" of Brazilian Criminal Faction, According to Police

ROGÉRIO PAGNAN
SÃO PAULO
The Civil Police of São Paulo claim there is a "genocide" taking place in the country, organized by the criminal faction PCC in its war against rival groups to dominate Brazilian drug trafficking.
The unprecedented classification, which appears in an official document issued by the police, is the result of last month's seizure of mobile phones and tablets from two criminals responsible for tracking deaths ordered by the faction.
According to the document, the devices have thousands of images of people murdered all over the country at the behest of the criminal faction - enemies or members of the group accused of misconduct.
Although staggering, the number of deaths stored in the devices was already expected by the police. In six months of parallel investigations, the police had already calculated approximately 400 murders ordered by the criminal organization - an average of two a day. Now the police will be able to crosscheck their suspicions with the images.
