The Brazilian Federal Police launched a massive operation code-named "Kryptolaundry" in Brasilia on December 9 to crack down on illegal investments and money laundering through crypto assets. Investigations revealed that the criminal organization hid the flow of funds by setting up dozens of shelf companies, totaling more than R $2.70 billion in illicit fund flows, of which R $404 million was identified as illicit proceeds. Twenty-four search warrants and nine preventive arrests were executed during the operation, involving 45 individuals and legal persons suspects. The court has ordered the freezing of account funds up to R $685 million and the seizure of multiple immovable properties. Those involved may face multiple charges of financial crimes, money laundering, participation in a criminal organization and forgery of documents.
