Agents of the Delegated Services Defense Police Station (DDSD) arrested, on Tuesday (25), in the act, the responsible for a clandestine internet signal provider, involved with the Red Command Criminal faction.
The action against the illegal supply of the internet, in the city of São Pedro da Aldeia, in the state of Rio, was intended to contain the expansion of organized crime in the interior of the state.
The operation dismantled a criminal scheme that provided illegal internet to the region and damaged regular companies. Police seized stolen equipment from authorized dealers, such as cables and optical finishing boxes.
Now, the material will go through the technical expertise to track its origin and identify suppliers, financiers and others involved in the criminal network.
Impact on the economy
According to police, the impact of illegal exploitation of essential services, such as internet, energy and water directly affects the life of the population. Criminals coordinate and intimidate residents and traders, forcing them to join clandestine services, preventing the performance of regular companies.
This illegal practice only serves to generate resources for the criminal faction, which uses this type of activity to finance drug trafficking and expand its territorial domain.
The city of São Pedro da Aldeia lives from Tourism, due to the Araruama Lagoon that cuts just over 104,000 inhabitants, according to the 2022 IBGE Demographic Census.
