A Integrated Force to Combat Organized Crime in Rondônia – FICCO/RO launched Operation Piratas do Madeira on Thursday morning (June 26) to dismantle a criminal organization involved in stealing grains from boats moored on the Madeira River in Porto Velho/RO.
Investigations revealed that this group was responsible for the theft of shipments of fertilizers, soy, corn, and other grains from vessels owned by private companies.
The 4th Criminal Court of Porto Velho/RO issued 14 temporary arrest warrants and 16 search and seizure warrants, along with the seizure of assets and the freezing of approximately R$ 126 million from the bank accounts of individuals and companies implicated in the operation.
