Abstract

This monograph seeks to address and understand the issues surrounding the crime of “laundering” money from cigarette smuggling in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul and the forms of organized crime. In the first chapter, a wide-ranging bibliographical survey was carried out on the crimes of smuggling, specifically the smuggling of cigarettes imported from Paraguay, as well as an understanding of the crime of money laundering. In the second chapter, particularities about the crimes in Mato Grosso do Sul were presented, as well as an important current change in the Superior Court of Justice's understanding of smuggling. The third section focused on identifying the main ways of combating these crimes. The aim is to bring a minimum of systematization to the subject and clarify the activities of criminal organizations specializing in this crime, which is characteristic of the border region. To this end, the deductive method is used, starting from general concepts to the particularization of the theme developed. Through a focus on concrete cases identified in seizures and operations aimed at repression and the modus operandi of criminal organizations dedicated to the practice of crime, from the border of Mato Grosso do Sul. The fundamental rights enshrined in the Magna Carta of 1988, especially the right to public safety, are increasingly weakened by anti-legal actions that undermine the advancement and development of society. The research, which is qualitative, uses the deductive method and exploratory and descriptive techniques, based on material, documental sources, interviews, dissertations, theses and scientific and bibliographic articles, forming the state of knowledge from already published material.
