To carry out the theft, the perpetrators used passwords belonging to business partners who make deposits to access customer’s accounts while diverting small amounts.

The arrested man, who used a simple digital transaction system called PIX, which is very popular in Brazil, was detained by special agents of the Regional Department of Criminal Investigations, who were investigating the fraudulent activity targeting clients of various banks, including Neymar.
