Operation Força Integrada IV brought together 20 Integrated Forces to Combat Organized Crime bases in a coordinated effort spanning 19 Brazilian states, with authorities reporting 106 arrest warrants and 173 search-and-seizure warrants. One account frames the operation chiefly as a national effort to disrupt networks involved in drug and arms trafficking, killings, extortion and money laundering.¹

That broader account places particular weight on the financial measures. Courts ordered blocks and restrictions exceeding R$508 million, covering property, luxury vehicles, bank accounts and cash allegedly connected to those under investigation. Its largest component, Rota Araguaia II in Tocantins, was authorized to freeze up to R$412.5 million from a logistics and financial network allegedly linked to international drug trafficking and money laundering.¹

The other account narrows in on Operation Eirene II, a Bahia-centered arm of the wider campaign. It reports 32 arrests in Bahia, São Paulo, Minas Gerais and Goiás, rather than the 45 arrest warrants described in the national overview. Bahia accounted for most detentions, including nine in Jequié and six in Vitória da Conquista.²

Both accounts identify Eirene II as targeting a group investigated for trafficking, killings, extortion, financial crimes and firearms-related offenses. They also agree that courts restricted more than R$12 million tied to those investigated. But where the nationwide report stresses the scale of coordinated enforcement and the total asset freeze, the more localized account emphasizes the operational objective: to “dismantle the organization’s structure, interrupt its activities and gather new evidence” on the alleged crimes.²

Taken together, the reports describe the same enforcement drive at two levels: a countrywide campaign designed to constrain criminal networks financially, and a regional operation measured most visibly in arrests across four states.
