It was also identified that the criminal organization had the support of criminals, facilitating the corruption of public servants and the hiring of lawyers with the aim of preventing the eventual investigation of the criminal scheme and accessing confidential information. In a note, Caixa informed that “it works together with the Federal Police and contributes to successful operations, collaborating with public security bodies in investigations and operations that combat fraud and scams”.
