Rio Grande Cartel

The Rio Grande Cartel is confined largely to northeast Brazil. It is extremely wealthy and controls many key population areas in the northeast. Despite its origins and main business as a drug cartel, many have noted that it has adapted to its difficult situation of being located in a region with less secrecy and rugged terrain than other cartels. It is known to possess an incredibly amount of influence over the state and national governments, and it is known to deal strongly in other industries such as private security, construction and even education.
