At a press conference in São Paulo, prosecutor Lincoln Gakiya explained the details of the results obtained by Operations Sharks. “We were able to identify and map the entire leadership of the faction. The orders issued were against people with command power, both inside and outside the prisons. We located important sectors of the organization linked to trafficking, in addition to identifying those responsible for the logistics of drug supply. of Paraguay and Bolivia “.
Also according to Gakiya, the disorganization of the internal and external management of the criminal organization aims to also reach the financial sector of the gang, since the investigations pointed to the sending of thousands of dollars abroad, in addition to money laundering through the acquisition of real estate. and automobiles. “Those investigated had a sumptuous life in the capital, as well as in apartments by the sea,” he added.

“The CCP has never divided into cells, it is still an essentially pyramidal organization. There is the dome that is stuck, the dome still loose, which was the target of Operation Sharks, and then the X-ray sector, which protects the so-called Final Adjustment, bringing together one person from each function, as if it were an advisory council, to guide decisions, “he said.
