巴西聯邦區警方啟動「痕跡行動」，偵辦一起利用PIX即時支付系統實施詐騙、搭配加密貨幣洗錢的重大刑案。警方調查指出，該犯罪集團利用全國性信用合作社系統漏洞，透過425筆PIX詐騙交易，造成損失超過550萬雷亞爾（約106萬美元）；部分贓款流入境內外加密交易所購買帳戶餘額，藉此隱匿資金流向。執法單位已執行7張搜索票，扣押涉案電子設備、書證與加密貨幣錢包，並凍結涉案銀行帳戶內資金。

Police of Brazil’s Federal District launched Operation Rastro to crack down on a major case involving fraud via the PIX instant payment system and crypto money laundering. According to investigators, the criminal gang exploited vulnerabilities in a national credit union’s system to conduct 425 fraudulent PIX transactions, causing losses exceeding 5.5 million reals (around USD 1.06 million). Part of the illicit funds were converted into exchange balances on domestic and overseas crypto platforms to obscure capital trails. Officers carried out seven search warrants, seized devices, documents and crypto wallets, and froze funds held in relevant bank accounts.
