Sinalagma Operation arrests PCC leader and police delegate
The Sinalagma Operation, led by the Civil Police of Pernambuco with support from Pará authorities and the Public Ministry, has resulted in the arrests of a high-ranking criminal figure and a police official.
Maria Virgínia Grimwood Pinto, a Civil Police delegate from Pará, was arrested in Brasília. She is suspected of receiving R$ 50,000 to provide confidential information and institutional protection to members of the Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC). The investigation also suggests she maintained a romantic relationship with a gang leader.
Renato Henrique do Carmo, known as 'Gordão', was arrested at a luxury resort in Recife. He is identified as a key leader in the PCC's expansion within the Pernambuco region.
The operation targets an interstate criminal network involved in drug trafficking, money laundering, and asset concealment, which is estimated to have moved over R$ 14 million using fraudulent documents and third-party accounts.
