Actions coordinated by Draco/Deutsch (Delegation for Combating Organized Crime of the State Office of Criminal Investigation) were carried out in accordance with nine search and seizure warrants issued by the Criminal Court of the Florianopolis Metropolitan Region.

In San Jose, Greater Florianopolis and Itapema on the north coast of Santa Catarina, searches were carried out for members of the criminal organization.

Several mobile phones, documents, drugs and imitation firearms were seized during the operation.

A 36-year-old man from Rio do Sul was arrested red-handed in a house located in Itapema on suspicion of drug trafficking.

The civilian police also seized a small greenhouse for growing drugs, several pots of skunk, and what appeared to be firearms.

As a result, the agents announced an arrest and brought the man to Deutsch’s headquarters for legal proceedings.
