Manual de Investigação de Fraudes Bancárias Eletrônicas
English title: Electronic Banking Fraud Investigation Manual
A practical and technical guide for Federal Police investigators
Synopsis
A technical guidance manual to standardize police investigations of electronic banking fraud against the Caixa Econômica Federal and other federal entities, written within the Brazilian Federal Police Directorate for Combating Cybercrime. The 2nd edition (1st: 2025, internal circulation) was revised through October 2026. It covers the main fraud modalities, their criminal-law classification and the applicable legal framework, jurisdiction and attribution criteria, investigative steps, the chain of custody of digital evidence and international cooperation, with case law of the Higher Courts and checklists for investigators. Internal-use material: the restriction stems from the description of investigative routines and tools, not from the legal content.
