One of the targets of the operation against police corruption with influencers is the funk player MC Paiva as determined by the CNN .
The Federal Police carried out an operation against civil police officers suspected of collecting bribes from influencers in São Paulo, this Thursday morning (12).
The funk singer, target of the operation, uses social media, where he has more than 8 million followers, to publish his music routine, in addition to boasting a luxurious life with cars, jewelry, money and travel.
In one of the posts on his Instagram, the MC posed next to a luxury vehicle and said “One more. I bought this one just to hit the spot.”
MC Paiva has released more than 50 songs, some of which are his own composition and others appear as contributions. On social media, the singer identifies himself as “Tycoon”, which refers to a powerful, rich and influential person.
Games of chance
The singer is suspected of being involved in a scheme in which SP civil police officers allegedly requested amounts from producers, businesspeople and singers so as not to proceed with criminal misdemeanor investigations for the exploitation of gambling.
The PF points out that these games would be “raffles” promoted and publicized by artists and influencers on their social networks.
The holding of draws that characterize a “raffle” are not authorized by the Ministry of Finance, which constitutes “illegal gambling”.
The agents complied a preventive arrest warrant and six for search and seizure during Operation Latus Actio II. One of search and seizure warrants it was carried out in the artist’s house. Several necklaces, watches and jewelry were seized. See an image below of the seizures.

According to the police, the artists who promoted the illegal raffles feared that the investigations carried out by the suspected police officers result in court orders which would determine the blocking of their profiles on networks, mainly on Instagram.
Therefore, influencers would have agreed to pay bribes to agents to avoid economic and image losses.
THE CNN tries to contact MC Paiva’s defense.
