Police and MP carry out operation against laundering of R$ 10 million in SP related to the PCC

An operation by the Civil Police and the Public Ministry of São Paulo once again placed the use of formal companies to hide resources from the Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC) under investigation.

Launched this Friday (8), Operation Caronte carries out 11 search and seizure warrants in cities in the interior and Greater São Paulo against an alleged money laundering scheme linked to international drug trafficking.

The main target is Eduardo Magrini, known as “Diabo Loiro”, identified by investigators as the faction’s financial operator. According to the Public Ministry, companies in the transportation and rodeo sectors would have been used to move money of illicit origin through partners considered “orange”.

The searches take place in Campinas, Atibaia, Monte Mor, Sumaré, Limeira, Mogi das Cruzes, Osasco and Taquaritinga. The investigation is conducted by the Specialized Sector for Combating Corruption, Organized Crime and Money Laundering (SECCOLD), of the 1st DIG-DEIC of Campinas, in conjunction with Gaeco.

According to investigators, the financial structure attributed to Magrini had been operating for almost a decade. Reports produced by the Money Laundering Laboratory (Lab-LD), supported by data from the Financial Activities Control Council (Coaf), identified movements considered incompatible with the income declared by those investigated.

The investigation shows that the group used formally registered companies to disguise the origin of the funds obtained from trafficking. According to the investigation, the links between Magrini and the businesses analyzed would have been confirmed by crossing tax and banking data.

Heritage exposed on networks

Before being arrested, in October 2025, Magrini maintained an active presence on social media, where he accumulated around 105 thousand followers. In publications, he appeared with luxury cars, trips and participation in rodeos, presenting himself as a digital influencer.

The arrest occurred in the context of another investigation by Gaeco de Campinas, which investigated an alleged PCC plan to murder prosecutor Amauri Silveira Filho. Magrini is also the former stepfather of funk singer MC Ryan, a previous target of the Federal Police’s Operation Narco Fluxo.

According to investigators, the suspect’s criminal history dates back to the 1990s. He has been convicted of drug trafficking and using false documents since 1998.

Family nucleus came into focus

Investigations also advanced into Magrini’s family members. His son, Mateus Magrini, is suspected of moving illicit funds through a company in the music sector.

Mateus had already been the target of Operation Narco Fluxo, conducted by the Federal Police, which investigated connections between members of organized crime and the entertainment market.

For researchers, the pattern of financial transactions between family members reinforces the suspicion of the existence of a structured nucleus for hiding assets and circulating PCC resources.

Millionaire block

The São Paulo court authorized the freezing of R$10 million in bank accounts linked to those being investigated. Vehicles and other assets registered in the name of the suspects were also made unavailable.

The name of the operation refers to Charon, a character from Greek mythology responsible for transporting souls to the underworld, in an allusion to the financial flow investigated by the authorities.
