Comando Vermelho expands territory in Mato Grosso do Sul amid gang war
A violent territorial dispute between the Comando Vermelho and PCC criminal factions is escalating across Mato Grosso do Sul. Police intelligence indicates the Comando Vermelho is attempting to expand its influence into at least ten municipalities, including Cassilândia, Maracaju, Chapadão do Sul, and Campo Grande. In Maracaju and Chapadão do Sul, criminals have reportedly rented properties to organize attacks.
A recent integrated police operation in Sidrolândia resulted in a deadly confrontation in the Alto da Figueira neighborhood. Four suspects, including at least one woman, were killed during the exchange of gunfire with specialized police units. This incident is part of a broader wave of violence in the region, with authorities attributing at least 13 deaths to the conflict between these rival organizations in Sidrolândia throughout 2026.
