PF takes action to arrest accused of involvement with illegal games

The Federal Police (PF) launched Operation Sicário today (7) to carry out three preventive arrest warrants and 17 search and seizure warrants. The targets are accused of involvement with a murder that took place in July 2020, at a gas station in São Gonçalo, in the metropolitan region of Rio. The homicide would be related to a criminal organization responsible for running illegal gambling in Niterói, São Gonçalo and surrounding municipalities, monopolizing the exploitation of jogo do bicho, slot machines and other bets in the region. Around 120 federal police officers carry out court orders in the city of Rio de Janeiro and in the metropolitan region.
