The chief delegate of the Civil Police of Pará, Walter Resende, indicated that the defendants will be charged with falsification of private documents, use of forged documents, possession of forged therapeutic or medicinal products without registration with the health surveillance authority, and negligent receiving of stolen motorcycles.
