According to the PF, the arrest was for money laundering. Individuals carried amount of money in kind, all banknotes of R $ 200, and presented inconsistencies in the information.
The entrepreneurs claimed to work in the state of Amazonas, using their companies to enter into public contracts with various municipalities. They said they were moving to the state of Goiás to acquire materials for their respective legal entities.
