Operação Caput Serpentis targets criminal organization across Brazil

The Civil Police of Rio Grande do Sul and Goiás launched Operação Caput Serpentis to dismantle the command and financial structure of a criminal organization based in Porto Alegre. The operation targeted criminal activities across five Brazilian states: Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina, São Paulo, Goiás, and Tocantins.

Authorities executed 125 search and seizure warrants and 33 preventive arrest warrants. The investigation also targeted operations within federal prison units, where members allegedly managed money laundering schemes. In Catalão, two women, aged 52 and 29, were arrested as part of the crackdown on the organization's activities involving criminal association and money laundering.
