The Federal Police carried out this Wednesday the Operation Voto Migrante to investigate the practice of electoral fraud. The action took place in São João de Meriti, in Baixada Fluminense, in the state of Rio de Janeiro, where two search and seizure warrants, issued by the Judicial Branch, were executed at addresses linked to the suspects.
According to the investigation, several voters had their electoral domiciles changed through the use of false documents. This practice aims to artificially increase the number of votes for a specific group or candidate, constituting the crime of electoral fraud.
During the searches, a cellular phone and various documents were seized, which will be submitted to criminal technical forensic analysis. The Federal Police reported that the investigations continue with the analysis of the seized material, in order to clarify the facts and identify all people involved in the scheme.
