An investigation by the Federal Police in Paraná unveiled an international drug trafficking network through the First Capital Command (CCP) using the Port of Paranaguá (PR) to send drugs to Europe. The main recipients would be members of Maphias from Italy and Albania.
The investigation is conducted by the Sensitive Investigations Group (GISE) and points out three nuclei of this scheme: operational (trafficking); Leadership (coordination); and financial (money laundering), according to reports obtained by the CNN .
The name of singer Gusttavo Lima is quoted in the financial core due to the sale of his company aircraft (understand below).
The investigation is called Mafiusi, which means mafia, and was triggered in December last year, with determination of arrest warrants and 35 search and seizure warrants. Some of these warrants were fulfilled in Italy through international cooperation and blockade of financial assets compared to 79 individuals and legal entities. The estimate of the values of the seized goods reaches the amount of R $ 126 million.
Of these prisoners, four remain arrested, including PF leader Willian Agati, called the “CCP concierge”. The initial representation of the PF was sent to the Federal Public Prosecution Service, which denounced the investigated to court.
“The plurality and relevance of the criminal actions perpetrated and proven in this investigation, added to the violent character and a high degree of dangerousness of Orcrim [organização criminosa]they consist of concrete and sufficient factual elements to justify the appropriateness of the personal precautionary measure, ”said the case delegate, Eduardo Verza, when asking for judicial authorization to trigger the first phase of the operation.
Aircraft sales
In the third core of the group, PF analyzed hundreds of financial transactions of the group and this part is still under investigation, as well as the harvest of testimonials.
Among the elements, the investigators found the sale of an aircraft from the company Balada Eventos, from singer Gusttavo Lima, to the group.

The singer, who placed himself as a presidential candidate in 2026, however, is not investigated. Its name appears as a representative of the company, which is cited.
According to the PF, the group uses the purchase of various items so as not to leave trace of money from international drug trafficking such as horses, auras and boats.
