MPRJ denounces police officers who received bribes to not seize car

The Public Security Specialized Action Group of the Public Ministry of the State of Rio de Janeiro (GAESP/MPRJ) denounced, this Tuesday (16), three military police officers for passive corruption.

According to the complaint, the accused received bribes to stop seizing a car during a blitz in Rio das Pedras, in the West Zone of Rio.

The MPRJ identified the negotiation for the release of the vehicle while another investigation that included judicially authorized telephone interception was carried out.

Prosecutors monitored the phone of the police officer who brokered the release. The agent has already been denounced for criminal organization and active corruption within the scope of Operation The Untouchables 2.

The body cross-referenced the information, after analyzing the dialogues and names mentioned, and verified that the reports and identifications coincide with the duty rosters of the accused and the dates of the facts investigated.
