Court orders blocking of more than R$5 million in investigations into tax crimes in MT

Five precautionary measures granted by the Judiciary affect financial assets, 14 properties and 21 vehicles belonging to individuals and companies under investigation. The decisions authorized the blocking of values ??through the Judiciary Asset Search System (Sisbajud), up to a limit of R$ 5,470,870.81, in addition to sequestration, unavailability and asset restrictions on assets.

Among the assets reached by court decisions are apartments, houses, commercial properties, rural properties and shares in properties located in the states of Mato Grosso, Bahia and São Paulo. Restrictions were also determined on vehicles belonging to those investigated.

Property measures aim to prevent the transfer, concealment or dilapidation of assets during the course of investigations, ensuring the effectiveness of possible repairs for losses caused to public coffers.

The investigations are conducted by Defaz within the scope of the Mato Grosso Interinstitutional Asset Recovery Committee (Cira-MT), a task force made up of the Civil Police, State Attorney General's Office (PGE), State Finance Secretariat (Sefaz) and State Public Ministry (MPMT), aimed at combating tax evasion and asset recovery.

Cira-MT

The Mato Grosso Interinstitutional Asset Recovery Committee (Cira-MT) brings together state bodies that work to investigate crimes against the tax system and recover resources diverted from public coffers.

The Committee's strategy is to preserve the assets of those being investigated to avoid the concealment or transfer of assets before the conclusion of criminal and tax proceedings, ensuring the effectiveness of judicial decisions and the reparation of damages to the State.

According to Cira-MT, new measures are underway. The blocking of more than R$5.4 million is part of the actions taken in the course of investigations into tax crimes and asset recovery.
