Federal Police and Revenue Service dismantle smuggling and money laundering ring in Mato Grosso do Sul and São Paulo following ex-wife's tip

An operation targeting smuggling and money laundering was initiated by an ex-wife's denunciation of her former husband using her identity for illicit activities. Federal Police and the Federal Revenue Service launched Operation Uxoris, investigating for two years after the ex-wife discovered undeclared tax liabilities. The operation aims to dismantle a criminal organization involved in contraband and fraudulent imports. The group used an informal money transfer system and sold smuggled goods, including electronics and toys, nationwide. Assets worth R$40 million were seized, and 14 companies had their operations suspended.
