Renato Cariani offered “very pure” substance to a fake company representative, says PF; see message

Email exchanges between fitness influencer Renato Cariani and a man who posed as a representative of the pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca reveal that the man, now targeted by the Federal Police for alleged participation in the diversion of substances used in drug trafficking, offered a ‘pure’ product to the intermediary.

The documents are part of the report of an investigation conducted by the Federal Police that preceded Operation Hinsberg. The investigation found that the man who posed as the pharmaceutical buyer maintained direct contact with Cariani and made several quotes, in addition to making cash deposits to pay for the purchases of inputs.

According to documents from the process to which the CNN had access, the investigation began when the company Anidrol Produtos para Laboratórios LTDA, which has the influencer as managing partner, declared to the tax authorities that it sold chemical products to AstraZeneca.

The payments received by the influencer’s company were made through bank deposits attributed to the pharmaceutical company, in two invoices of R$103,500.00, in 2015 and 108,500.00, in 2016.

According to the investigation, when the Federal Revenue questioned the pharmaceutical company about the payments, Astrazeneca began an internal investigation involving several sectors of the company.

Upon not finding information about the deposits, the company also found that Anidrol was not among the suppliers, which “prevents any type of transaction or commercial movement from being carried out, whether purchasing or selling”, according to the document.

The pharmaceutical company also advanced its internal investigation and concluded that the man who presented himself as a buyer was never an employee of the company. Furthermore, in letters sent to the PF, AstraZeneca informed that it does not purchase “lidocaine chloride” in Brazil and reported possible fraud.

At the time of the investigation, the police had access to Cariani’s company emails and bank statements. Conversations suggest that several transactions were made, including offers and purchases.

The emails also contain information that the same operation was carried out with a smaller company than the world-renowned pharmaceutical company. The representatives also reacted in the same way, saying that they did not purchase Anidrol products.

The conclusion of the investigation is that there was “falsification of data from a national company for the fraudulent purchase of inputs used to manufacture drugs”, says the document.

Continuation of the investigation

During the investigation, federal police began to investigate the man who pretended to be a commercial representative. In what had been determined until yesterday (12), when the operation was launched, the Federal Police identified that approximately 19 tons of crack and cocaine may have been manufactured from products that would have been diverted by the group.

“60 disguised transactions linked to the activities of this criminal organization were identified, totaling approximately 12 tons of chemical products (phenacetin, acetone, ethyl ether, hydrochloric acid, mannitol and ethyl acetate), which corresponds to more than 19 tons of cocaine and crack ready for consumption”, says the PF.

The PF says that “the people related to the facts investigated will respond, each within their own sphere of responsibility, for the crimes of equivalent trafficking, association for the purpose of trafficking, as well as for the crime of money laundering”. The combined sentences can exceed 35 years in prison, the corporation adds.
