PCC Roberto Prieto Filho drug trafficking Bolivian police Guarujá prison escape

Roberto Prieto Filho, known as 'Betinho', an alleged leader of the Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC) criminal organization, has been arrested in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia. The arrest was carried out by the Bolivian Special Force Against Drug Trafficking (FELCN) following intelligence sharing with the Brazilian Federal Police and the São Paulo Civil Police.

Prieto had been a fugitive since January 2022, when he was rescued from a police unit in Guarujá, on the coast of São Paulo, during a violent raid by armed criminals. The escape involved gunmen using ladders to enter the facility and firing weapons to prevent a response from security agents.

He faces multiple charges in Brazil, including drug trafficking, money laundering, criminal association, and illegal possession of firearms.
