description This study conducts a socio-historical interpretation of illegal mining fronts and their affinities with two criminal groups, Comando Vermelho (CV) and Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC), which violently expanded from Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo to the Amazon region, starting in 2016. The hypotheses is that the native concept of "narcogarimpo," emerging in the current context, can help illustrate trends in a process of reorganization of criminal ecology in the Brazilian Amazon. In order to support hypotheses, the study relies on literature review and constant dialogue with empirically collected data through ethnological reflection and ethnographic practice, direct observation, research in documentary archives, among other methods.

Este estudio lleva a cabo una interpretación sociohistórica de los frentes de minería ilegal y sus afinidades con los dos grupos criminales, Comando Vermelho (CV) y Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC), que se expandieron violentamente desde Rio de Janeiro y São Paulo hacia la región amazónica, a partir de 2016. Se sostiene la hipótesis de que la concepción nativa "narcogarimpo", que surgió en el contexto actual, puede contribuir a ilustrar tendencias en un proceso de reorganización de la ecología criminal en la Amazonía brasileira. Para fundamentar la hipótesis, se recurrió a la revisión bibliográfica y al diálogo constante con los datos empíricos que se recopilaron mediante la reflexión etnológica y la práctica etnográfica, la observación directa, la investigación en archivos documentales, entre otros.
