This Wednesday (11 March 2026) the PF (Federal Police) complied with a court order against a man investigated for racial discrimination and support for Nazism on the internet. The operation was carried out in Americana, in the interior of São Paulo.
Agents seized a cell phone and a hard drive from the suspect’s residence. The material will be subjected to technical expertise to deepen investigations and identify other possible parties involved in criminal practices.
According to the Cybercrime Suppression Group of the Federal Police Station in the city, the person being investigated downloaded and shared around 200 files with illicit material linked to Nazism and racial discrimination.
The action is part of Operation Ethos, a Federal Police initiative aimed at repressing hate crimes committed on the internet. In February 2026, the corporation carried out another operation in the interior of São Paulo, in São José dos Campos. On that occasion, a man was arrested for storing sexual abuse material against children and adolescents.
