Brazil's police launch an operation to dismantle the country's largest gang accused of plotting to commit 'homicides and kidnapping for ransom' in at least five of the country's 26 states
A government minister told Reuters news agency that the plan was organised by the First Capital Command gang.
About 120 agents carried out 24 search and seizure warrants and 11 arrest warrants in the states of Sao Paulo, Parana, Mato Grosso do Sul and Rondonia, police said in a statement, which did not name the suspects or their intended targets. From 2014 to 2018, Moro was the lead judge in the Carwash trials, which led to the arrest of prominent politicians including Lula, who spent over a year in jail. His conviction was later annulled.
