A criminal organization specializing in drug trafficking and money laundering, which moved around R$350 million in 4 years, was the target of a Federal Police operation this Monday morning (16).
Police actions to comply with court orders, issued by the 7th Criminal Court of Cuiabá, took place at addresses linked to those investigated in five municipalities in the state of Mato Grosso: Cuiabá, Várzea Grande, Mirassol D’Oeste, Poconé and Pontes e Lacerda.
The investigations found that the criminal group acquired cocaine in the municipality of Porto Esperidião, packaged it in Mirassol D’Oeste, and distributed it in the capital of Mato Grosso. During the investigations, the federal police, with the support of the Military Police, managed to seize two shipments with 210 kg of cocaine.
According to the PF, the criminals also used gas stations in Cuiabá to launder money resulting from trafficking. “Investigations and investigations against trafficking continue, with special attention to the arrest of leaders and decapitalization of criminal organizations,” the PF reported.
