Comando Vermelho (Portuguese for Red Command)is a Brazilian criminal organization/gang in Rio de Janeiro slums. During the entire 1990s the criminal organization was the strongest in all of Rio de Janeiro, but today the principal leaders have been arrested or are dead, and the organization is not as strong. The Comando Vermelho still control parts of the city.

The movie "City of God" or "Cidade de Deus" shows the early beginnings of Comando Vermelho(CV)
