Nov 25, Brasilia: Operation Enterprise was launched on Monday (23), which reached an international narcotics trafficking organization, in addition to several other crimes such as money laundering and illegal foreign exchange remittances. The gang, with branches in several states, had one of the main logistical bases on the coast of Paraná, with a strong presence in the Port of Paranaguá.


151 search and seizure warrants were executed in 10 states (BA, MG, MS, MT, PA, PE, PR, RN, SC and SP) and four abroad (Spain, Colombia, Portugal and the United Arab Emirates). 65 arrest warrants were also carried out, of which 29 people had been arrested by the end of the morning, mainly on the coast of Paraná and in Curitiba and the metropolitan region. In addition, 37 requests for arrest (arrest warrants) for aircraft were granted.

Investigations

Investigations began after a seizure in September 2017 by Federal Revenue officials, who prevented the shipment of 776 kilograms of cocaine that were being exported through the Port of Paranaguá, bound for the Port of Antwerp, Belgium. With the information collected by the Federal Revenue Service, the Federal Police initiated a police investigation and the two public agencies acted together in the investigations that revealed a vast criminal organization, which operated in the export of narcotics from Brazilian ports to various destinations abroad, with predominance for Europe.


During the investigative period, more than 50 tons of cocaine were seized in connection with the gang, in Brazil and abroad. Most of the seizures occurred in the port area, but there was a significant amount in deposits, roads, aircraft and even smaller vessels on the high seas. The main ports used by the gang were Paranaguá (PR) and Santos (SP), but there were also branches in other ports such as Natal (RN), where a group specialized in sending the drug abroad amid loads of fruit and also on fishing vessels.

The deputy superintendent of the Federal Revenue, Fabiano Blonski, highlighted the constant exchange of information between the two institutions for the success of the action. “After the seizure in Paranaguá, the constant exchange of information allowed new targets to be identified by the Federal Police, and the Federal Police fed the Federal Revenue with possible irregular export operations. In addition, the IRS has developed a surveillance and risk management system that has enabled a huge growth in the seizure of drugs in the Port of Paranaguá, one of the most targeted by the gang ”, he explains.


The follow-up of the gang and the refinement of investigative actions have allowed the Federal Revenue to set successive records of cocaine seizure in recent years.
