The targets of the search and seizure are federal deputies Sóstenes Cavalcante (PL-RJ) and Carlos Jordy (PL-RJ).
According to the investigations, political agents, commissioned employees and private individuals would have acted in a coordinated manner to divert and subsequently hide public funds.

PL parliamentarians had their cell phones seized during the operation. A large amount of cash was also seized, including R$400,000 from Sóstenes.

The PF’s action is the result of an operation launched in December 2024 and investigates the crimes of embezzlement, money laundering and criminal organization.
