Despite the promises, the accused never fulfilled his part of the agreement, keeping only the money. A Civil police investigated and concluded that the man claimed to have great influence on the external transfer procedure.
Due to the high fees paid to private universities, students believed that it was worth investing a single amount to migrate to a public university. Thus, the entrepreneur's role was to approach and promise vacancies for medical students from private universities outside the country, offering the possibility of transferring to public universities in Brazil.
Despite intense investigations, the total number of victims of the fraudster was not disclosed, but several of them sought support from the Civil Police after having paid the requested amount and never having received updates on the progress of the transfer itself.
The man was not only detained, in addition, a blockade of BRL 215,000 was determined by the Court in various accounts that the scammer used to receive the amounts from the victims. The man was arrested preventively in a municipality 448.3 km from the state capital, in a city called Barra do Corda.
The Civil Police initiated the investigation and carried out the necessary investigation to investigate the case. Now, the procedure consists of drawing up a detailed report of what was found, thus forwarding the records to the Public Prosecutor's Office, which in turn will file a criminal action or request that the case be shelved, which is very unlikely in the current Affair.
