Courts Free Three After PF Uncovers Enamed Fraud Scheme

Overview

• Three doctors were released on Tuesday at the request of federal prosecutors, while other suspects remain in custody.
• A judge set bail at 50 minimum wages, roughly R$76,000, for those freed, and converted the remaining arrests to preventive detention.
• Police arrested eight people on Sunday — five at the exam site and three at a Juiz de Fora hotel — and seized phones, smartwatches, earpieces and falsified IDs for federal forensic analysis.
• Investigators say the group transmitted answers to candidates and used impostors with fake documents, charging up to R$140,000 per successful approval.
• The 2025 Enamed drew more than 96,000 registrants, the exam can count for residency selection, the preliminary answer key is due Wednesday, and Inep and FGV aided the operation without being targets.
