Operation Cafua, launched this Tuesday morning (11) in Minas Gerais by the Integrated Force to Combat Organized Crime – FICCO/MG, carried out four search and seizure warrants and the sealing and suspension of 24 commercial establishments.

In addition, the operation also blocked the assets of 31 individuals and legal entities, resulting in R$260 million.

The objective of the police action was to investigate money laundering crimes resulting, in particular, from drug trafficking carried out by the criminal organization in the state of Minas Gerais.

The search and seizure warrants were issued by the 2nd Court of Toxics, Criminal Organization and Laundering of Goods and Valuables of the District of Belo Horizonte, in the Minas Gerais municipalities of Pará de Minas, Lagoa Santa and São José da Lapa.

The operation is an offshoot of the Caixa Forte operation, launched in 2019, which aims to investigate drug trafficking carried out by the criminal group in the metropolitan region of Belo Horizonte.
