The Civil Police of São Paulo, through the 2nd Cyber Crime Division Police Station (Dcciber), served a temporary arrest warrant on Wednesday afternoon (03) for a search and seizure against a suspect of participation in one of the greatest cyber attacks in the country’s history.
The case involves an electronic fraud scheme through the PIX transfer system, which resulted in a loss of approximately R $ 541 million to the company BMP payment institution S/A. The investigation began on June 30.
During the investigations, police found that a C&M employee, responsible for intermediating transactions between BMP and the Central Bank, would have facilitated the access of criminals to the system, allowing for mass fraudulent transfers to various financial institutions.
In the action of this Wednesday (03), the agents of Dcciber went to the city City Jaraguá, in São Paulo, where they arrested JNR, IT operator of the company C&M, who confessed to being enticed and collaborated with the criminal group.
The court also ordered the blockage of R $ 270 million in an account used to receive part of the amounts diverted, as a reparatory measure. The investigation is still in progress to identify and arrest the others involved in the crime.
