The Civil Police of Rio de Janeiro carried out, this Tuesday morning (10), an operation against suspects of laundering money from drug traffickers in Complexo da Parma, which encompasses communities in the north and west of Rio and Baixada Fluminense.
According to the police, officers are carrying out search and seizure warrants against members of a criminal organization that allegedly generated more than R$12 million between the years 2020 and 2023.
Investigators point out that beauty companies were created to launder money from crime.
The scheme is carried out based on the companies’ regular activities, which aim to cover up the illicit origin of the values.
Search and seizure warrants take place in communities that are part of the “Parma Complex”: Formiga, in Tijuca; Urubu, in Pilares; Vila Operário and Parque Felicidade, in Duque de Caxias.
In the police action, some companies linked to relatives of drug leaders in these locations were identified.
