The Civil Police of Pernambuco launched "Falsum Scriptum," their 53rd Qualified Repression Operation of 2026, on Tuesday morning, May 28th, in Caruaru, located in the state's Agreste region. This operation aims to dismantle a criminal association suspected of active and passive corruption, document forgery, and fraud. The investigation, initiated in December 2023, is being led by the 3rd Corruption Combatting Police Station (3ª DECCOR), a unit under the Department of Repression of Corruption and Organized Crime (DRACCO). The operation is overseen by delegate Jeová Miguel and is part of the Specialized Integrated Directorate's (DIRESP) initiatives. Three home search and seizure warrants, all issued by the Second Criminal Court of the Caruaru District, are being executed. A total of 20 Civil Police officers, including delegates, agents, and clerks, were mobilized for the operation. The Civil Police stated that the investigation received support from the Intelligence Directorate of the Pernambuco Civil Police (DINTEL) and the Institute of Forensics (ICPAS/GGPOC), which provided technical assistance. Details regarding the operation and its findings will be released by the Pernambuco Civil Police's Communication Office at a later time. As of the last update, no information regarding arrests, seizures, or the identification of those under investigation had been disclosed.
This operation by the Pernambuco Civil Police targets a criminal association implicated in corruption and fraud, highlighting ongoing challenges in combating organized crime within the region. The investigation's duration and the involvement of multiple specialized units suggest a complex network requiring significant resources to unravel. The focus on document forgery and fraud indicates a potential exploitation of bureaucratic or financial systems. Future efforts may benefit from enhanced inter-agency cooperation and technological integration to preemptively identify and disrupt such schemes, thereby strengthening governance and public trust.
