According to a federal investigation, the secret weapons factory that the PF (federal police) dismantled in August had a system for importing parts from the United States, and a man arrested under house arrest in Rio de Janeiro was the factory manager.
The industry, based in Santa Barbara d’Oeste in the interior of São Paulo, came to the company’s attention after one of its agents noticed that the manufacturing park remained closed during business hours but was operating at night and on weekends, moving large quantities of heavy boxes.
The MPF (Federal Public Ministry) indicted 11 people in early November, marking the beginning of an investigation into a company.
The plan began last May under the direction of Silas Dinis Carvalho, according to the lawsuit. He was at the time in preventive detention in Gelicino (RJ), also awaiting trial in a weapons-related case. Two months later, in July, she entered home care.
He was accused of maintaining a secret rifle factory in the center of Belo Horizonte (MG). To hide his business, he used a shell company designed to manufacture metal frames on paper.
He was arrested in Rio de Janeiro when PF discovered 47 rifles stored in a property rented by Cyrus, most of them in suitcases. TJ-RJ (Rio de Janeiro Court of Justice) sentenced him to 13 years in prison. he pleads.
The investigation continued and further investigation led the company to its factory in Santa Barbara d’Oeste.
Investigation revealed that Cyrus was also responsible for this speech, but in this case, careful judgment was required. The miners never set foot on the site and never revealed their names to the secret factory’s managers.
Investigators told PF that a man named Mikhail was responsible for injecting resources into the factory. It was actually Cyrus and he used different phone numbers to contact him, one of which was registered in the United States.
His wife, Marcelie Avila Machado, also used the same pseudonym and told officials that her name was Vitoria. According to the MPF, she was responsible for managing the cash flow of Santa Barbara d’Oeste’s clandestine industry and was also involved in money laundering operations.

According to PF, the link behind the U.S. secret military program, the name of the company in Sao Paulo’s interior was KondorFly, a CNPJ focused on manufacturing aviation parts founded under the name of Gabriel Belchior. he is on the run.
The company discovered two addresses associated with Belchior in the United States. The first was in Kansas City, the state capital of the same name, and the second was in Florida. According to the investigation, both were destinations for rifle parts purchased from manufacturer HK, which were later sent to Brazil.
The complaint does not provide details on how these fragments arrived in Brazil, but MPF said the person responsible for receiving them was Janderson Ribeiro, who has not yet defended himself in the criminal case. This was revealed by the lawyer who represented him when he was arrested in the interior of Sao Paulo. sheet People who are no longer working on this case.
The warehouses of Santa Bárbara d’Oeste housed a large industrial complex for the manufacture of weapons using machining machines for the production and finishing of materials such as aluminum and steel.
Everything was pre-designed. PF seized a file containing a 3D model of the weapon and dozens of its parts. One of them was named “pcc-9-upper-1.snapshot.1.zip”.
The acronym PCC came to the attention of the PF due to its similarity to the criminal organization Primeiro Comando da Capital, but it actually stood for “Pistol Caliber Carbine,” a semi-automatic pistol modified to function as a submachine gun.
After the weapons were assembled, they were shipped to Americana’s home, which federal police say served as a bunker for a criminal organization. At the scene, more than 30 prototype rifles that were still being assembled and 45 boxes containing parts for weapon manufacturing were seized.
According to the PF, the main destination of the discovered war materials was the community of Rio de Janeiro, where the weapons were delivered on a private jet rented by Belchior, the leader of the plot.
Using geolocation data, the company said deliveries were made primarily to the Alemão and Maré complexes controlled by Commando Vermelho.
