Two suspects of fraud in transfers via Pix for donations to Rio Grande do Sul were arrested by the Civil Police in Santo André, in the ABC region of São Paulo, on Wednesday (May 15, 2024).
The couple allegedly created pages referring to the state government on social media to raise money that would supposedly go to victims affected by the rains in the south of the country. Operation Moral Deluge was supported by police officers from Demacro’s Tactical Responsibility Group.
According to investigations, the fraud began right at the beginning of the floods that hit the cities of Rio Grande do Sul. The 2 arrested suspects had their bank accounts blocked by the courts.
The accused, a man and a woman, were taken to the 4th Police District (Santo André) and then to the public prison of Santo André, where they remain at the disposal of the Justice.
With information from government of São Paulo.
