The police arrested eight people in Operation Extortio after accusations of extortion and violence.
The Extremeio operation, conducted by the civil police on Monday (14), arrested eight members of a criminal association involved in the loan and drug trafficking in Porto Alegre. The offensive was led by the eighth police station, respecting the arrest mandates and research.
During the action, the agents seized drugs, money and equipment used in the marketing of narcotics. According to the investigations, the group lent money to exorbitant interests, forcing local residents and traders and used threats as a collection tool.
The most serious investigated case occurred in May 2025, when a woman was kidnapped because her son did not pay a loan. It was released only after the payment of R $ 15 thousand. According to the delegate Juliano Ferreira, suspicions already have previous steps for extortion.
Overall, the police identified eight episodes of extortion related to the group. The operation aims to completely dismantle the criminal scheme that acts with violent and intimidating practices for the collection of debt in state capital.
