The main target of Operation Mors Futuri, launched by the Federal Police (PF) last Thursday (12/04), was located and arrested this Saturday (12/06) in Itapema, on the north coast of Santa Catarina, by the Military Police.
Considered the organizer of a clandestine “digital banking” project that generated more than a billion reais, he had been on the run since the start of the investigation and had been included in Interpol’s Red Diffusion.
The arrest took place during an intelligence action by the PF, which was monitoring the possible routes taken by the person under investigation since leaving Curitiba after the collapse of the frauds.
At the time of his arrest, the man had cell phones, documents and more than 5 million reais in cash.
Billionaire scheme
Mors Futuri targets the activities of groups that have raised funds from investors without authorization from the Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) or the Central Bank (CB).
The system operated through front companies and an underground “digital bank” that promised fixed profits, low risk and profitability above the market average.
The deposits, however, were used to maintain the financial pyramid itself and to fuel the assets of the leaders. Before disappearing, the fugitive even transferred 10 million reais to accounts linked to oranges, according to the PF.
Convulsions and blockages
In addition to the arrest, police had already executed 11 search warrants in Curitiba and blocked up to 66 million reais in property and assets. Properties, luxury vehicles and electronic equipment were seized to ensure compensation for victims.
With the capture of the organizer, investigators are now making progress in analyzing the seized material to identify new people involved and track the destination of the misappropriated values.
