Overview

• State officials said Bruno ‘Buzeira’ left Federal Police custody in São Paulo and was transferred to the Pinheiros IV provisional detention center, while associate Rodrigo Morgado was sent to a facility in São Vicente.
• The nearly six-minute surveillance video published by Fantástico shows Buzeira retrieving and loading a 12-gauge shotgun as agents surrounded his Igaratá home, with his 4-year-old daughter present and entry later granted via a balcony.
• Federal Police reported he holds a CAC registration but lacked authorization to keep firearms at that residence or leave them accessible to others.
• Agents seized a 12-gauge shotgun, three pistols, a revolver and a rifle, along with luxury cars, more than 30 motorcycles, electronics and two stones identified as emeralds whose certified R$ 1.7 billion value awaits forensic confirmation.
• The operation executed 11 arrest orders and 19 search warrants across four states with support from Germany’s BKA, blocked over R$ 630 million in assets and centers on alleged laundering via cryptocurrencies and international transfers; the defense denies any crimes and says he initially believed the house was under criminal attack.
