Deputy Nikolas Ferreira tried hard, but he couldn't prevent the oversight of the PCC's money laundering scheme.

Finance Minister Fernando Haddad, whose proposal for oversight of suspicious transactions was defeated after a misinformation campaign led by Deputy Nikolas Ferreira, his party PL, and other Bolsonaro supporters, said that "starting tomorrow, all fintechs will have to provide the same clarifications about financial transactions as banks, and from there, we will be able to unravel other money laundering schemes more quickly."

The mega-operation Hidden Carbon, launched this Thursday the 28th by the Federal Police in partnership with the Public Ministry of São Paulo, the Federal Revenue Service, and other agencies, pointed to the use of fintechs to launder money from criminal organizations.

The Federal Police indicate that around 52 BILLION reais from criminal organizations have transited through fintechs in the last four years. Among the targets of the operation this Thursday are companies in the financial sector, such as Reag Investimentos, which is listed on the São Paulo Stock Exchange.
