Rio 247 - Investigators from Operation Lava Jato stated that former Rio de Janeiro governor Sérgio Cabral possessed €1,8 million worth of diamonds alone, approximately R$6,1 million. According to the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office and the Federal Police, the jewels, which will be repatriated, represent a small portion of the total amount diverted by Cabral to accounts abroad.

According to Lava Jato, Cabral, his former secretary Wilson Carlos, and Carlos Emanuel Miranda, identified as one of the former governor's operators, concealed more than US$100 million (more than R$340 million) in overseas accounts. Of this total, approximately US$80 million belonged to Cabral. The Federal Public Prosecutor's Office has already managed to repatriate approximately R$270 million through collaborators who signed plea bargains.

Operation Efficiency gained momentum when money launderers Marcelo Hasson Chebar and Renato Hasson Chebar voluntarily approached the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office and, in a plea bargain agreement, reported two major operations for Cabral's scheme. Between 2002 and 2012, they transferred funds from Cabral abroad. During this period, US$100 million was allegedly concealed.
