Mientras comienza el juicio en B\u00e9lgica contra Sergio Roberto de Carvalho, alias el \u201cPablo Escobar\u201d de Brasil, los cargos en su contra muestran hasta qu\u00e9 punto el tr\u00e1fico de coca\u00edna se ha convertido en un negocio global cada vez m\u00e1s opaco y sofisticado. Tambi\u00e9n reflejan el creciente papel de Brasil en este comercio, sobre todo como plataforma hacia Europa, y c\u00f3mo los grandes capos han ido cediendo terreno a intermediarios de bajo perfil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

De Carvalho<\/a>, exmayor de la Polic\u00eda Militar de Brasil, construy\u00f3 su carrera criminal apoy\u00e1ndose en identidades falsas y redes de corrupci\u00f3n, y tras una larga b\u00fasqueda fue finalmente<\/a> detenido<\/a> en junio de 2022.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. El auge del intermediario \u2018invisible\u2019<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

El caso ilustra c\u00f3mo los capos de alto perfil, como Pablo Escobar \u2014con quien a menudo se compara a De Carvalho\u2014, han dejado de dominar la cadena log\u00edstica. En su lugar, han surgido intermediarios discretos que coordinan cargamentos a trav\u00e9s de fronteras sin necesidad de controlar territorios ni grupos armados. Act\u00faan como nodos clave en redes internacionales cada vez m\u00e1s complejas y dif\u00edciles de desmantelar. El caso de Sebasti\u00e1n Marset<\/a>, otro intermediario regional, confirma que estos perfiles se convirtieron en la norma y no en la excepci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. La corrupci\u00f3n e impunidad son factores centrales<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

De Carvalho fue condenado por varios delitos mientras segu\u00eda activo en la Polic\u00eda Militar. En 1998 recibi\u00f3 una pena de 15 a\u00f1os por tr\u00e1fico de drogas, pero fue reci\u00e9n expulsado de la instituci\u00f3n en 2010. Lejos de ser una anomal\u00eda, esto sugiere que la corrupci\u00f3n puede ser tan \u2014o incluso m\u00e1s\u2014 eficaz que la violencia para sostener a las redes actuales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. La identidad como herramienta criminal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

El uso de m\u00faltiples alias y documentos falsos le habr\u00eda permitido a De Carvalho operar en varios continentes. El caso muestra c\u00f3mo los traficantes explotan las fallas de los sistemas internacionales de identificaci\u00f3n y financieros. En 2020 fue detenido en Espa\u00f1a con una identidad surinamesa falsa, sin que las autoridades pudieran determinar qui\u00e9n era en realidad. Tras pagar la fianza y quedar en libertad, hizo que un m\u00e9dico firmara un acta de defunci\u00f3n<\/a> falsa, donde se atestiguaba que \u201cPaul Wouter\u201d \u2014su alias\u2014 hab\u00eda muerto de Covid-19 y desapareci\u00f3. Despu\u00e9s habr\u00eda vivido en Portugal, Ucrania y Dub\u00e1i bajo distintas identidades, hasta su captura en Hungr\u00eda en 2022, cuando utilizaba un pasaporte mexicano falso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Brasil como punto clave para el env\u00edo de coca\u00edna hacia Europa<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Seg\u00fan las acusaciones en su contra, De Carvalho organiz\u00f3 vuelos para mover droga desde Per\u00fa y Bolivia hacia Brasil y, desde all\u00ed, envi\u00f3 la coca\u00edna a Europa a trav\u00e9s de puertos internacionales brasile\u00f1os a partir de 2017. Para cuando fue detenido en 2022, las autoridades estimaban que hab\u00eda coordinado el env\u00edo de al menos 45 toneladas de coca\u00edna al mercado europeo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
