One of Brazil's most famous drug traffickers arrested.

This is Anderson Lacerda Pereira , known as “Gordao”, famous in Brazil for his unbridled and luxurious lifestyle in imitation of the legendary boss of the Medellín cartel Pablo Escobar, his greatest idol.

An example? He had built a small zoo complete with breeding grounds for alligators, monkeys and rare species of parrots.

Pereira was captured yesterday in a restaurant in Poà , in the metropolitan area of São Paulo, as reported today by the newspaper O Globo.
Interpol has been on his trail since 2014, when the federal police carried out the "Oversea '" operation, revealing its massive participation in the cocaine trafficking to Europe from the port of Santos in collusion with the violent cartel of the First Command from capital. (Pcc).

For his militants injured in clashes with the police, he bought - with money laundered from drug trafficking - several private clinics in Sao Paulo.
