São Paulo Prosecutors Seek R$65 Million in Asset Forfeiture in Operation Vérnix

The complaint could trigger large seizures after police forensic valuations as prosecutors say a PCC-linked scheme used transport firms to disguise illicit funds.

Overview

  • Prosecutors from Gaeco formally filed the Operation Vérnix complaint on Wednesday, June 10, asking the court to decree loss of assets totaling up to R$65 million and to impose a R$10 million collective fine for moral damages.
  • Influencer-lawyer Deolane Bezerra is detained in Tupi Paulista and is listed by prosecutors as holding R$27,002,774.72 in alleged illicit assets while facing charges that carry up to 22 years in prison.
  • Leonardo Alexsander Ribeiro Herbas Camacho, Marcola’s nephew, was indicted for organization and money laundering with about R$417,000 in unexplained deposits and is reported as a fugitive, with investigators placing him in southern Bolivia.
  • The complaint cites money flows and Coaf reports linking transfers to transport companies including Transunião and Transportadora Lado a Lado, which prosecutors say were used to layer and move proceeds for the PCC leadership.
  • Gaeco asked the Police Civil’s LAB-DL unit to perform forensic valuations to quantify alleged illicit wealth before seizure, and defense teams for the accused have denied the allegations while judicial decisions and expert reports are still pending.
