Administration
Shortly after Cláudio Lembo became governor of São Paulo the city underwent a frightening wave of criminal activity led by the Primeiro Comando da Capital, commonly known as PCC. The PCC targeted the city's police, killing as many as 30 policemen in less than a month. The police killed over 100 alleged members of the PCC.
Cláudio Lembo blamed the "white rich people" of São Paulo for the criminal uprising, claiming that they didn't do enough to help the poor inhabitants of São Paulo.
