Diego Stevam dos Santos, a fugitive linked to the Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC), was captured in Jundiaí, São Paulo, after escaping from prison. He was previously serving a six-year sentence for drug trafficking and his association with organized crime. His capture was facilitated by the Brazilian police, who apprehended him while he was driving his own car in the neighborhood.

The São Paulo State Public Security Secretariat announced the arrest, confirming that Stevam dos Santos was affiliated with one of Brazil's most notorious criminal organizations. His return to custody emphasizes ongoing efforts by law enforcement to manage the threat posed by organized crime groups in Brazil, particularly those that operate within and outside the prison system.

Following his arrest, he was taken to a custody hearing and subsequently returned to the prison system. This incident raises concerns about prison security and the challenges of rehabilitating criminals who are part of such influential and violent organizations as the PCC.
