The Civil Police carries out seven search and seizure warrants at addresses in the central region of São Paulo against companies that handled more than R$500 million in suspicious transactions. The operation began this Monday (27) and should continue in the coming days.
According to the São Paulo Public Security Secretariat (SSP-SP), investigations indicate that the amount was transferred by 11 companies that are linked to a foreign family group. The transactions were discovered following a report from the Financial Activities Control Council (Coaf).
At one of the addresses targeted by the operation, a deposit with various electronic products without invoices was located by teams from the Division of Investigations into Crimes Against the Administration, Combating Corruption and Money Laundering. The Federal Revenue Service was called to the location.
During the execution of the warrants, it was found that some of these companies do not operate at the addresses registered with the Commercial Board of the State of São Paulo (Jucesp). Furthermore, when analyzing documents, the police discovered the existence of at least four other companies linked to the group.
Among the crimes under investigation, we can mention ideological falsehood, criminal association and money laundering. The Citizenship Protection Police Department (DPPC) investigates the cases.
