• Investigators identify businessman Flávio Silvério Siqueira as the suspected leader of a scheme to adulterate fuel and wash proceeds through fuel stations, franchises and motels.
• The probe traces money flows from card machines seized in clandestine gaming houses in Santos to the fintech BK Bank, which allegedly masked the origin and destination of transfers.
• Fiscal analyses point to 21 CNPJs tied to 98 establishments moving about R$ 1 billion from 2020 to 2024, plus more than 60 motels moving roughly R$ 450 million and distributing R$ 45 million in dividends.
