Bolivia accuses Brazilian cartels PCC and CV of recruiting citizens as violence rises

Bolivia's government publicly accused Brazil's two largest drug trafficking organizations, Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC) and Comando Vermelho (CV), of recruiting Bolivian citizens, citing rising violence levels. This marks an escalation in cross-border criminal influence and a shift in Bolivia's official posture toward acknowledging transnational cartel activity. The claim is based on government statements, with no independent corroboration yet, and the extent of recruitment remains unclear.
