Supplemental Information: Shimada is the São Paulo-based leader of a network laundering money on behalf of Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC), Brazil’s largest transnational criminal gang.

In January 2025, Shimada was briefly held under house arrest in Brazil after one of his companies, Victory Trading Intermediação De Negócios, Cobranças E Tecnologia Ltda, was used to launder money stolen from a Brazilian soccer club in an advertising fraud scheme. He is designated pursuant to Executive Order 14059 for providing, or attempting to provide, financial, material, or technological support for PCC, and pursuant to E.O. 13224, as amended, for materially assisting, sponsoring, or providing support to or in support of PCC.
