More information:
- Three search and seizure warrants were executed, two in Annapolis (GO) and one in Recanto das Emas (DF).
- The action was carried out with the support of the Annapolis Homicide Investigation Group (GIH).
- During the investigations, mobile phones, documents, and parts of drugs were seized.
- According to the investigation, these materials reinforce the connection between those being investigated and criminal practices.
Investigations indicate that the perpetrators impersonated representatives of a company providing services, sent false invoices and provided false bank details, which led to misleading the victim’s financial sector.
The fraud also involved the use of a newly enabled phone line, social engineering techniques and traffic accounts, which are typical elements of organized cyber fraud.
Based on the new items collected, the civil police have already identified other members of the scheme.
The teams remain in the field, and a new phase of the operation will be launched to expand the tracking of those involved and completely disrupt the financial flow generated by the frauds.
