About 650 police and tax agents executed 93 search warrants Tuesday, arresting 40 people involved in an alleged ring to help the unnamed U.S. company avoid import, sales and corporate taxes, the federal police statement said.

The scheme, allegedly set up by Brazilian businessmen to benefit the U.S. firm, prompted a two-year police investigation that focused on at least $500 million in products shipped to Brazilian clients from tax havens like Panama, the Bahamas and the British Virgin islands, in order to avoid local taxes, the police statement said.
