Brazilian Federal Police on Tuesday launched an operation called Tai-Pan against a Chinese criminal organization accused of currency evasion and money laundering involving almost 6 billion reais ($1 billion) in the past five years, with China being the main destination for these transactions of funds with illicit origins.
The investigation, which began in 2022, brings evidence of the involvement of criminal groups linked to illegal activities such as drug trafficking, arms trafficking, and smuggling.
