The Civil Police investigate a gang suspected of erasing 580 fines from the system and diverting R$ 180 million from the São Paulo State Traffic Department (Detran-SP). The information is from TV Globo.
The Civil Police made a search and seizure request this Thursday (23) at the house of the suspected head of the scheme, in the city of Salto, in the interior of São Paulo. The house, which had a swimming pool and several rooms, was blocked and police believe it was bought with embezzled money.

The 35-year-old dispatcher had access that only the agency’s important servants had. The delegate responsible for the case, Fábio Daré, explained that there are two alternatives to explain how she had access to these passwords: through an employee or through password cracking, which happens when a computer is invaded by a spy program.
The investigation began four months ago when a Detran server was approached by the gang and the dispatcher offered money for his password. Before the meeting, the employee notified the police, who arrested the head of the scheme in the act.
How the scheme worked
The scheme began when an offending driver sought out the dispatcher to avoid paying the fine. She charged a fee of 20% of the value of the infraction in which part would go to the gang and part would go to the boss.
The inspection director of Detran-SP, Juan Sanchez, said that the fines will return to the department’s system and that violators will experience “annoyance”, since there will be a blockage in the system that will prevent, for example, the vehicle from circulating. , be licensed or sold.
