The General Corregedoria of the Civil Police of São Paulo, along with the Special Action Group to Combat Organized Crime (Gaeco), has launched an operation targeting two special investigators suspected of involvement in a corruption scheme. The operation, which is being conducted under secrecy, is based on data obtained from seized phones during a prior operation known as 'Face Off'. Messages extracted from these phones reveal direct communications between the officers, Tania Aparecida Nastri and Carlos Huerta, discussing bribery and interference in internal investigations.

The investigation suggests that both officers misused their positions to gain privileged information from police databases and to exert pressure on delegates overseeing disciplinary inquiries. This misuse of power raises serious concerns about integrity within the police force and underscores the challenge of ingraining accountability and transparency in law enforcement agencies. The case highlights the ongoing struggles against corruption within public institutions in Brazil, particularly within the police forces that are expected to uphold the law.

These developments are part of broader efforts to combat organized crime and corruption in Brazil, reflecting both the institutional challenges faced by law enforcement and the concerted actions taken by oversight bodies. The outcomes of these investigations could have significant implications for internal reforms within the police department and could serve as a deterrent for similar corrupt practices in the future, potentially restoring public trust in the integrity of the police.
