Thawany Nunes Silva de Bulhões, wife of Paulo Witer Farias Paelo, the WT, appointed by the Civil Police as treasurer of the largest criminal faction in Mato Grosso, was also arrested in Operation Replay, launched this Thursday (30).

The investigation investigates crimes of criminal organization and money laundering allegedly led by WT, the main target of the operation. He is already imprisoned at the Central State Penitentiary (PCE), in Cuiabá, where he had a new preventive arrest warrant served.

The Civil Police also carried out search and seizure warrants at three addresses linked to Thawany: a condominium in Camboriú (SC), a building in Itapema (SC) and an apartment in Cuiabá. During the investigation, luxury bags, jewelry and cash were seized.

As already reported, the lawyer Dayane Karol Moreira da Silva, the former parliamentary advisor to the Chamber of Cuiabá Brunno Passos da Silva, the amateur football player Alex Júnior Santos de Alencar, known as Soldado, Emerson Ferreira Lima, the Gordinho, and the influencer Katani Adorno Bocardi, Emerson's wife, were also arrested.

The list of prisoners also includes Aldemir de Assis Campos, known as Tucão, Ygor Henrique da Silva Martins and Anderson Alves de Sousa.

According to the Civil Police, lawyer Dayane Karol worked to hide and dissimulate WT's assets.

Influencer Katani Adorno was arrested in the early hours of Friday (31), at Marechal Rondon Airport, in Várzea Grande, when she disembarked from a trip to Paris.

In addition to Thawany, all those arrested were also targets of searches and seizures, as well as Wellen de Amorim Gomes, Giselly Breier Streck, Jhonatan Alves Ventura, known as Japan, Paulo Vinicius Gabriel de Araújo, Pisquila, Wires Alves Guerra, Nagilda Cândida Ferreira and Fernando Wagner Moraes Amorim.

The operation

In total, Operation Replay served 10 preventive arrest warrants and several precautionary measures against 14 people being investigated in Mato Grosso, Santa Catarina and Rio de Janeiro.

According to the Civil Police, the group used third parties to hide assets and move resources of illicit origin. The court ordered the freezing of assets and values ??estimated at more than R$17.2 million.

Among them are high-end apartments and houses in Mato Grosso and Santa Catarina, three plots of land and four vehicles. The blocking of up to R$15.324 million in financial assets was also determined, an amount corresponding to the movement identified in the accounts seized during the investigation.

According to the Civil Police, the measures seek to interrupt the group's activities, preserve evidence, prevent the dissipation of assets and affect the financial structure of the criminal organization.

The investigation concluded that WT, despite being held in a maximum security wing of the state prison system, continued to exercise financial and disciplinary command of the faction, guiding free members and determining movements of illicit resources.
