Mato Grosso do Sul police described an investigation into people suspected of incapacitating men to steal belongings and access financial accounts.
An ongoing investigation
The statement identified three victims and two further wanted suspects. Investigators examined robbery and money-laundering allegations.
Update: August 11, 2024
A subsequent statement reported the August 8 arrest of the two women previously sought by investigators. Police also said prosecutors had filed charges and the case had progressed into judicial proceedings. This later information completes the position reported in July, without establishing a conviction or resolving the allegations at trial.
