The Civil Police of the Federal District (PCDF) arrested, on Monday afternoon (20/05), a man identified as the largest fraudster in activity in the DF and surrounding areas. The arrest was made by the Delegation of Repression of Patrimonial Crimes by Fraud (DRCPIM/CORF) during the second phase of Operation Nominus. The suspect was found and detained while engaged in illegal activities with an accomplice. Against him, there was a warrant for his arrest issued by the court following a conviction. The investigation by the PCDF revealed that the suspect led a group specializing in frauds against financial institutions, including crimes such as embezzlement, qualified theft, use of fake documents, hacking of computer systems, and money laundering. According to the corporation, the group used sophisticated techniques, such as the violation of digital biometric systems and the invasion of the GOV.BR platform, to open bank accounts in the names of public servants and companies. The gang also made loan requests, issued credit cards, made withdrawals and transfers via PIX, and even used Open Finance tools to facilitate the frauds. The estimated losses exceed R$ 5 million, affecting the finances and emotional well-being of the victims. During the operation, the police seized water meter account mirrors from CAESB, fake income certificates, printers, mobile phone chips, laptops, mobile devices, third-party bank cards, fake documents, and other materials used in the frauds. In addition to the arrest warrant, which carries a sentence of 10 years in prison, the leader of the group and his accomplice were arrested for falsifying private documents, a crime that can result in a sentence of up to five years in prison, plus a fine. The PCDF reaffirmed its commitment to combating qualified patrimonial fraud, aiming to protect the population and financial institutions.
