According to the Civil Police, they have previous police records and are considered "important players" in fraud. There are no details of their involvement. Delegate Leonardo Burger stated that those being investigated took advantage of a vulnerability in the institution's system to commit the crimes. "These individuals took advantage of a vulnerability in the system. This institution used a system called 'piggy bank', in which people deposited money, R$100,000, for example, and this R$100,000 was released as a limit on the credit card. These individuals spent the limit on the card, passing it through machines, then canceling the card and recovering the money from the piggy bank," he stated. Among the vehicles seized is one valued at around R$3 million. In addition to the vehicles, cell phones, computers, luxury watches, documents and a firearm were seized. What do the defenses say? Lawyers Claudinei Donizete Bertolo and Alex dos Santos Teixeira, who are part of Alon's defense, said that they became aware of the operation through information released by the press and through statements from the authorities and that, until now, they have not had access to the records of the investigative procedure. The defense reiterated its respect for the work of the institutions and highlighted that it will follow the case in a technical manner, "ensuring compliance with due legal process, contradictory proceedings, broad defense and constitutional guarantees guaranteed to all citizens". "After effective access to the records and full analysis of the procedure, the defense will adopt the appropriate legal measures and, if necessary, will provide further clarifications. Finally, it is reinforced that any early conclusion must be avoided, preserving the presumption of innocence until an eventual final judicial decision", he added. Wagner's defense informed that the procedure is confidential, so that access to precautionary measures has not yet been granted, which, according to her, makes it impossible to evaluate the points of the investigation.
