São Paulo prosecutor maps stolen phone resale network in central district

A two-year Gaeco investigation identifies a structured network in central São Paulo that disassembles, unlocks, and resells stolen cell phones, with key nodes on Rua Santa Ifigênia, Rua Guaianases, 25 de Março, and Shopping Mundo Oriental. The claim is based on official prosecutor's office findings, but operational details and the extent of the network remain partially disclosed. This highlights organized crime's infiltration of legitimate commerce and may prompt enforcement actions.
