The Federal Public Ministry (MPF) denounced influencer Bruno Alexssander Souza Silva, “Buzeira”Rodrigo de Paula Morgado, appointed by the Federal Police as the “PCC accountant”, Nickolas Tadeu Ribeiro de Campos, the “King of Bets”, and two others investigated for the crimes of criminal organization, money laundering, currency evasion and ideological falsehood.
They are investigated by the PFwhich investigates a broad scheme of money laundering and concealment of assets associated with international drug trafficking carried out using sailboats.
Estadão requested a statement from the defenses regarding the accusation. The space is open for manifestation.
According to the complaint, between 2023 and 2025, the five defendants formed part of an “organized, stable and functionally divided” structureoperating in Brazil and abroad, focused on money laundering. According to the Prosecutor’s Office, a wing of the group also participated in operations linked to currency evasion, using companies, “scams”, corporate operations, cryptoactives, international transfers and business structures linked to the illegal betting sector.
Operation Narco Bet is an offshoot of Operation Narco Vela, a PF offensive focused on dismantle an international drug trafficking scheme via maritime routes. While the main investigation focused on the logistics of narcotics, the Narco Bet phases focused on the sophistication of money laundering and the concealment of millionaire assets.
The MPF cites, among the companies and brands used by the group, BRX Gaming S/A (or Brabos Gaming), RR Participações e Intermediações de Negócios S/A, Ana Gaming Brasil SA and Cactus Tecnologia Ltda., in addition to the betting platforms BRXBet, RicoBet and 7K.
According to the complaint, these structures functioned as “mechanisms for decoupling formal ownership and real economic control”, allowing the “concealment of final beneficiaries”, the circulation of values through different channels and the attempt to insert resources into the formal economic system.
The report seeks contact with the companies mentioned by the MPF. The space is open for manifestation.
According to the Prosecutor’s Office, the fixed-odd betting sector was used as an environment for “absorption, circulation and integration of values”, with the use of corporate structures, technological platforms, commercial brands and contractual relationships to give a “formal appearance” to operations that, in reality, would hide “the real economic beneficiary, the origin of the resources and the function specifically performed by certain agents in the structure”.
