According to the indictment, the network operated since 2021 using tampering with the Integrated Tax Management System (SIGT), unduly favoring several companies through the elimination and reduction of tax debts, the irregular issuance of settlement notes, and undue VAT refunds, among other harmful practices.
Of the 37 defendants, 16 are in pre-trial detention, 14 of whom are employees of the General Tax Administration (AGT). Several companies are also defendants, and, according to the Attorney General's Office (PGR), a parallel asset and financial investigation is underway to request the forfeiture of assets in favor of the State.
The indictment alleges that those involved acted in concert, using shell companies, purchasing real estate and luxury goods, and sending large sums to tax havens as a way to conceal the illicitly obtained funds.
The case, known as "Operation Alligator Tribute," was registered under number 2378/2025 and will be tried by a collective court.
The Attorney General's Office (PGR) assures that the preliminary investigation followed the legal deadlines.
