The Federal Police is carrying out search and seizure warrants this Wednesday (9) to combat a scheme of manipulation of results of football matches in state championships and in the Brazilian C and D series.
This Wednesday’s action is the second phase of Operation Rehearsed Play. In all, 60 federal police officers serve 12 search and seizure warrants in the cities of Aracaju, Araguaína (TO), Assu (RN), Belo Horizonte, Brasília, Campina Grande, Fortaleza, Igarassu (PE), Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and Sumare (SP). Police teams are at the homes of businessmen, soccer players and gamblers involved in the scheme.
There are no prisoners in this phase of the operation, says the PF. Those investigated will answer for crimes provided for in the general law of sport and criminal organization.
“The operation, whose first phase was launched in October 2022, was aimed at investigating fraud in Sergipe football. However, the analysis of the seized material ended up revealing a much larger scheme, nationwide”, says the PF.
Dialogues were identified in which businessmen representing players, bettors and managers combined to manipulate the results of soccer matches to earn illicit money on betting sites. According to the investigation, the estimate is that the criminal organization moved about R$ 11 million with the scheme.
So far, manipulations have been identified in games of several state championships and in the Brazilian championships of series D and C.
