The Brazilian Federal Police have initiated multiple operations targeting various forms of digital crime and exploitation.

Operation Aggregatio was launched to investigate online hate crimes, threats, and sexual violence against children and adolescents. This investigation uncovered a suspect using dark web forums to disseminate extremist content, including racist, misogynistic, and homotransphobic material. The suspect also reportedly used a blog to incite violence against women and utilized third-party data to send threats and false reports. The scope of this operation includes death threats against officials and potential crimes such as extortion and persecution.

In a separate action, Operation Artemis IX was launched to investigate the long-term storage of child sexual abuse material. This investigation focuses on an individual suspected of possessing explicit recordings of children and adolescents over a nine-year period from 2017 to 2026. Authorities in Mato Grosso executed search and seizure warrants to recover electronic equipment for forensic analysis to identify potential connections to other individuals.
