Cinco suspeitos foram presos nesta sexta-feira (27) durante uma operação da Delegacia Especial de Atendimento ao Turismo (Deat), que apura a atuação de um grupo envolvido em extorsão e tráfico de drogas nas praias da Zona Sul do Rio de Janeiro. A ação faz parte da segunda fase da Operação Praia Limpa, conduzida com o apoio da Polícia Militar.

As investigações revelaram que os suspeitos integravam um esquema que envolvia falsos ambulantes e traficantes oriundos da Vila Kennedy, na Zona Oeste, com o objetivo de aplicar golpes em turistas — especialmente estrangeiros — e comercializar entorpecentes nas praias mais movimentadas da cidade.

De acordo com a Deat, os criminosos utilizavam maquininhas de cartão adulteradas para cobrar valores indevidos por produtos simples. Há registros de turistas sendo cobrados em até R$ 1 mil por um cigarro, R$ 7 mil por uma sunga e mais de R$ 20 mil por uma caipirinha. Para dificultar a identificação do golpe, os investigados danificavam as telas das maquininhas, deixando-as foscas ou riscadas, impedindo a vítima de visualizar o valor digitado antes de concluir o pagamento.

A delegada Patrícia Alemany, responsável pela investigação, informou que o grupo é composto por pelo menos 20 pessoas que se passam por ambulantes e atuam principalmente entre os postos 8 e 9 da Praia de Ipanema, e entre a Avenida Princesa Isabel e o Posto 3, em Copacabana.

Além das fraudes com cartões, os suspeitos também vendiam drogas nas areias, aproveitando o fluxo intenso de turistas. Todos os detidos já possuíam antecedentes criminais e vão responder por tráfico de drogas, associação para o tráfico, contrabando de cigarros eletrônicos e estelionato.

As investigações continuam com o objetivo de identificar outros envolvidos no esquema e reforçar a segurança nas praias, especialmente durante o período da Cúpula do Brics, que deverá aumentar o número de visitantes na cidade.
