Civil police officers from Rio de Janeiro and Amazonas seized 1.7 million reais in cash this Tuesday (23), during an operation against a money laundering system.
The seizure took place in Manacapuru, metropolitan area of Manaus, and the money, according to the investigation, would be sent to the Comando Vermelho.
The police claim to have discovered, thanks to information from the intelligence services, that the money would be withdrawn at a bank branch by a suspected representative of the faction.
The action was carried out by agents of the DCOC-LD (Delegation for the Fight against Criminal Organizations and Money Laundering) of Rio de Janeiro, in collaboration with the Civil Police of Amazonas.
According to the investigation, drug traffickers used front companies to move their resources. The group is suspected of making split transfers to orange accounts.
