The São Paulo Civil Police launched an operation on Thursday against a group linked to PCC in Baixada Santista. Those under investigation are suspected of laundering approximately R$ 1 billion through the purchase of high-end real estate, businesses, and commercial establishments.
The targets of the operation include addresses in Praia Grande, Guarujá, Santo André, and Santana de Parnaíba. According to police, the group brought together faction members, financial operators, people linked to the real estate market, and intermediaries used to hide the true owners of the assets.
The operation also examines control of kiosks in public areas, favoritism in a municipal bid, and financing or support for elected politicians in Praia Grande. Part of the money obtained from trafficking would have been put into the legal economy through real estate purchases.
