The Federal Police carried out an operation this Wednesday (25) to dismantle a criminal organization specialized in committing fraud and falsifying public documents to carry out fraudulent withdrawals in judicial precatórios.
The agents served 12 search and seizure warrants and three warrants for the presentation and delivery of documents at Notary Offices, law firms, dispatchers’ offices and the homes of those under investigation. The court orders are being served in Rio de Janeiro, Duque de Caxias, Niterói and Maricá.
The investigations began after an arrest was made at a Caixa Econômica Federal branch during an attempted withdrawal of a court order.
The agents analyzed the seizure made in the flagrant operation carried out by the Sensitive Investigations Group of the Tax Crimes Repression Department, with information from Caixa’s Security Centralizer. The group then identified other suspicious powers of attorney.
The investigations also revealed that the fraudsters obtained information on court orders deposited by the Federal Court and eligible for withdrawal by the beneficiaries. They caused a loss of R$2.5 million in the powers of attorney they used.
Those investigated may be charged with the crimes of criminal organization, fraud and forgery of public documents, the penalties for which can reach 18 years in prison.
