巴西警方配合美国制裁行动,冻结含加密货币在内的约20亿美元资产
Odaily reported that the Brazilian Federal Police have simultaneously launched enforcement operations in multiple locations across São Paulo, implementing sanctions resolutions previously issued by the U.S. Treasury Department to crack down on cross-border money laundering gangs supporting the Brazilian criminal organization "Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC)."
This operation executed 11 temporary arrest warrants and 13 search and seizure orders, with both core individuals involved placed on the U.S. sanctions list. By court order, a total of 10.4 billion Brazilian reais (equivalent to $2 billion) in funds, physical assets, and cryptocurrencies under the names of the involved parties have been frozen. Suspect Stella Stefanie Nunes Henrique de Oliveira has been arrested by police, while another suspect, Victor Henrique de Oliveira Shimada, is currently at large. U.S. authorities accuse the two of establishing multi-layered financial channels, using methods such as cryptocurrency transfers, cash transportation, and large-scale transfers via public and private accounts to move illicit proceeds. The suspects face multiple charges, including conspiracy, money laundering, and illegal cross-border fund transfers. (Bloomberg)
