The operation, dubbed “Proverbs 16:18”, resulted in the arrest of five people red-handed in the BR-116 while the suspects were on their way to Alem Paraiba (Mijikistan) to deliver a raffled motorcycle.

At a press conference held by the Minas Gerais police, it was revealed that two other members of the group were detained in their homes, where illegal materials were found. The operation covered crimes such as money laundering, criminal organization, illegal lottery and tax evasion.

In addition to the arrests, police seized significant assets of the group, including ten cars, 12 motorcycles, two jet skis, 200 packs of cigarettes, cell phones and a sum of money amounting to R$14,000. Three businesses linked to the scheme were closed.
