The Civil Police of Pará arrested a woman in the Castanheira neighborhood of Belém on Friday as part of the "Erga Omnes" operation led by the Civil Police of Amazonas, which is occurring across six states in Brazil. The suspect faces charges related to involvement with a criminal organization, drug trafficking, and money laundering. The operation, which aims to disrupt networks linked to the Comando Vermelho gang, seeks to uncover and eliminate infrastructure associated with drug trafficking operations that reportedly involve political, legislative, and judicial connections.

Law enforcement officials detailed that the operation targets a criminal scheme connected to the Comando Vermelho, which allegedly maintains a "political nucleus" that grants access to various branches of government. The investigation is a comprehensive multi-state effort that also includes Piauí, Ceará, Maranhão, Minas Gerais, and São Paulo, focusing on apprehending key figures in organized crime. In addition to the arrest in Belém, authorities executed several search and seizure warrants as part of the operation.

As investigations progress, it has come to light that some of the operations involved in the drug trafficking schemes utilized "dummy companies" to facilitate their activities. This strategy allows criminal organizations to mask their illegal operations and launder money through seemingly legitimate businesses, making it difficult for law enforcement to trace illicit activities. The police hope that dismantling these networks will significantly impact drug trafficking and money laundering operations across Brazil, leading to a broader crackdown on organized crime in the region.
