PF investigates the author of Nazi threats to federal universities

On Thursday (4/12), the Federal Police (PF) launched Operation Valkyrie to investigate threats sent to federal universities and letters of apology for Nazism. The targets were higher education institutions from different regions of the country, including one located in western Bahia.

According to investigations, the author used email accounts created exclusively to publish criminal content. The messages were sent via VPN, a technology used to hide the communication address and make it difficult to identify the person responsible.
