Public servants are targeted by the PF on suspicion of charging bribes on the border between Roraima and Guyana

The Federal Police (PF) executed five search and seizure warrants, this Tuesday morning (20), to dismantle a bribery scheme on the border between Brazil and Guyana. The investigations target public officials and businesspeople suspected of facilitating the irregular entry of products into the country.

The operation, which has the support of the Federal Revenue Service, investigates whether civil servants used their positions to demand money from merchants and freight drivers. The purpose of the bribe was to circumvent customs inspection and release foreign goods without checking.
