A gang practiced millionaire fraud against banking institutions in Piauí.
One of the investigated is a woman, who did not have her identity disclosed. She was arrested during Operation Benni, carried out by the Federal Police in Teresina. The suspicion is accused of falsifying the document of his own deceased mother to commit the crimes.
The operation was compliance with five court orders: one of pre -trial detention and four search and seizure, with the objective of dismantling the criminal organization. “The investigation began less than a year ago, when the statements of a person arrested in the act, along with other evidence, led the Federal Police to discover this criminal practice,” said Deputy Marcos Antônio Nunes.
During investigations, the PF identified an office used to practice fraud. The victims were sent to the scene, where various equipment were seized on the morning of Tuesday (1). At the address, documents were counterfeit to obtain fraudulent loans from financial institutions. The gang operated in a structured way, like a company.
“One person captured the interested parties, another collected all the necessary documentation and a third man made the referral to the financial institution,” explained the delegate.
Due to the large amount of counterfeit documents, the Federal Police have not yet been able to calculate the total value of the frauds, but estimates that it exceeds the mark of millions of reais.
The court determined the blockade of assets and values of the investigated. Those involved may be responsible for estelionato, document forgery, criminal association, improper appropriation of public values, among other crimes that are being found.
