The Civil Police of the Federal District launched, this Tuesday (10), an operation against a criminal organization specializing in money laundering, with the support of the civil police of São Paulo, Goiás and Minas Gerais. According to investigations, the group generated around R$15 million in the last two years through illicit activities.
According to the investigation, coordinated by the Counterfeiting and Fraud Division (DIFRAUDES) in Brasília, one of the strategies used by the organization was the application of scams on an educational platform, which would have caused an estimated loss of R$1 million. The scheme involved the concealment and dissimulation of criminally obtained amounts.
In total, the Court issued five arrest warrants and four search and seizure warrants, carried out in the cities of Sertãozinho (SP), Contagem (MG), Aparecida de Goiânia (GO) and Trindade (GO). During the operation, five people were arrested and police seized two cars, a motorcycle, pen-drives, cryptocurrency devices, two workstations and R$12,000 in cash. Investigations continue to identify others involved and expand the tracking of values moved by the group.
