Anabela Cardoso Freitas, the former chief of staff for Manaus' Mayor David Almeida, has been linked to transactions totaling over R$ 1.3 million with a travel agency called Revoar, suspected of being a ghost company involved in illegal activities. The Brazilian financial intelligence unit, COAF, found that the source of this money was not declared, suggesting potential money laundering or other illicit financial practices. This case is at the center of a broader investigation into the political nucleus of the Comando Vermelho criminal organization operating in the Amazonas region.

The operation, named Erga Omnes, resulted in the arrest of Anabela and the agency's owner, Alcir Queiroga, among others, reflecting an extensive crackdown on organized crime within the region's political landscape. Law enforcement officials arrested 12 individuals, eight of whom were in the state of Amazonas, while nine others, including the alleged leader of the criminal group, remain fugitives. The police also seized luxury cars, cash, and documents during the operation, highlighting the scale of corruption and criminality associated with the political sector in Manaus.

The implications of these arrests may have significant repercussions for the local political scene, as they expose the intricate networks of corruption that can exist between public officials and organized crime. This case could lead to increased scrutiny of the financial dealings of public figures in Brazil and potentially influence public trust in local governance as citizens become increasingly aware of the interconnectedness between politics and criminal activity in their regions.
