MP launches Operation Black Hole against embezzlement of R$ 24.9 million from social security on the coast of SP

The action is carried out by the Special Action Group to Combat Organized Crime (Gaeco) and has the cooperation of the Military Police and the Court of Auditors of the State of São Paulo.

In total, five search and seizure warrants were executed in the city, including at the headquarters of the Municipal Public Servants' Pension Institute (Itanhaém Prev).

According to the MP-SP, the misappropriation of resources from the institute occurred between 2023 and 2026. The money would have been transferred to the accounts of people with no ties to the authority and then mostly passed on to employees of Itanhaém Prev itself.

In this way, the Court ordered the precautionary removal of two civil servants, the freezing of assets and values ​​up to the limit of the estimated loss and also prohibited those under investigation from leaving the country. Those investigated may face charges of embezzlement, money laundering and criminal association. The process is being carried out in secret from the courts.

When contacted by g1, the institute and the City of Itanhaém did not respond until the publication of this report.
