Brazilian Federal Police: Anti-money laundering task force executes warrants in Alagoas.

Alagoas 247 - The Federal Police (PF) in conjunction with the SSP/BA Task Force, launched this Tuesday morning (26), an operation called Última Estação to combat money laundering crimes resulting from drug trafficking carried out by the leader of the Bonde do Maluco faction, identified as “Marreno”, who died in a confrontation with police officers in August of this year. According to the PF, the trafficker resided in a “high standard” house in Maceió. This morning, the police carried out search and seizure warrants in Maceió.

The investigation, initiated after the criminal's death, revealed that Marreno had been using a false name to conceal assets acquired with proceeds from drug trafficking and other crimes committed by the criminal faction, as well as to evade police action.

Marreno had bank accounts in the city of Porto Seguro/BA and was residing in a high-end house in the city of Maceió/AL.

On Tuesday, five search and seizure warrants were executed in the cities of Porto Seguro/BA, Eunápolis/BA, and Maceió/AL, in addition to warrants for the seizure of assets and the freezing of funds in bank accounts.

During the search of the residence located in the Jardim Europa condominium, in Antares, the police seized a vehicle – purchased by Marreno and registered under a false name used to conceal assets and hide his identity – in compliance with a warrant issued by the court of Porto Seguro.

There was no one in the house at the time of the search and seizure.

During the searches, other false names used by the trafficker were identified, as well as documents indicating bank transactions and proof of concealed properties. The investigation aims to recover assets acquired with the proceeds of crime, as well as identify other members of the criminal organization who were involved in laundering the illegally obtained money.
