The eighth phase of Operation Unha e Carne, launched by the Federal Police this Thursday (15), unfolded in Armação dos Búzios and six other cities in Rio. The action resulted in the arrest of state deputy Márcio Canella and former Civil Police secretary Marcus Amim, who were being investigated for criminal organizations involved in money laundering, corruption and cartels.
Federal agents served 16 search and seizure warrants and six pre-trial detention warrants. The volume handled by the group reached $7.6 billion in six years, according to COAF. The Supreme Court ordered the seizure of assets and the suspension of 112 companies linked to the scheme, of which 96 are gas stations.
