A lot of cocaine ending up in Antwerp these days originates from Brazilian groups; about 20%, which is a lot.

The Brazilian groups are a bit less known in the European and Northern American hemisphere because in contrast to other groups, there seems to be very low emigration from Brazil to other countries so Brazilians don't seem to create local enclaves in big Western Cities (like Mexicans and Salvadorans in the Southwest, Puerto Ricans and Dominicans in the Northeast, Colombians and Cubans in Florida, Jamaicans and Haitians in Florida and Canada or Curaçaoans in the Netherlands). So you never read headlines like "Brazilian drug trafficking cell busted in New Jersey".

Groups like the PCC seem to have control over quite a few ports in Brazil and their drug exporting business is conducted with plenty of professionalism. Which is in sharp contrast with the explosions of chaotic disorder they create in prison. If you look up videos of Brazilian prison riots there's violence on a Mexican cartel-like scale with people having their heads smashed and torn from their bodies with bricks, eyes being gouged out, disembowelments...it's completely insane.
