Brazilian football was at the center of a significant police operation this Monday, after authorities deployed a series of raids in different states of the country to investigate an alleged organization linked to drug and arms trafficking. Among the targets was David Corrêa da Fonseca, a forward for Vasco da Gama.
According to O Globo, the footballer, known as DVD, was one of the main targets of the security forces. Agents raided his residence in Rio de Janeiro, where they seized cell phones and documents that could provide elements for the investigation.
The operation also directly affected Vasco. The Civil Police conducted a search at the training center of the carioca club, although so far the institution has not issued any statement regarding the procedure or the alleged involvement of its player in the case.
