The Indian company is a member of the Responsible Jewellery Council, the world\u2019s leading organization dedicated to setting standards and promoting responsible business practices in the jewellery and watchmaking sector.<\/p>\n<p>Brazilian Federal Revenue inspectors said they found \u201cstrong inconsistencies\u201d between the documentation submitted by Coluna and the findings of a technical examination carried out by the agency, prompting the seizure of the cargo at Guarulhos International Airport in S\u00e3o Paulo in November 2025.<\/p>\n<p>The Federal Revenue Service\u2019s main suspicion centers on 10 kg of gold bought by Coluna from third parties, about 8 kg of which came from 18 miners, according to purchase invoices submitted by the company.<\/p>\n<p>The documents listed the mineral\u2019s origin as areas in Peixoto de Azevedo, an Amazonian municipality in northern Mato Grosso, where a cooperative obtained authorization for exploration through Artisanal Mining Permits or PLG, in the abbreviation in Portuguese. A PLG is a simplified authorization issued by Brazil\u2019s National Mining Agency, intended for small-scale mining. It has less stringent socio-environmental criteria than the mining concession required under the Mining Code for large-scale operations.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Federal Revenue Service, \u201cthe individualized analysis and cross-checking of data on each seller showed that they were not cooperative members or artisanal miners, but rather true mining entrepreneurs operating on an industrial scale in gold extraction.\u201d They allegedly used the PLG only to issue invoices \u201cwith the purpose of \u2018laundering\u2019 the origin of gold extracted from unidentified areas,\u201d states an agency inspection report obtained by Rep\u00f3rter Brasil. Experts interviewed by Rep\u00f3rter Brasil say the practice may also be used to evade requirements imposed on large-scale mining operations.<\/p>\n<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"77670\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n<div data-id=\"17a659f\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings='{\"background_background\":\"classic\"}'>\n<div>\n<div data-id=\"386385d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n<div>\n<h2>ASSINE NOSSA NEWSLETTER<\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div data-id=\"6546917\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div data-id=\"8c2e333\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings='{\"button_width\":\"20\",\"step_next_label\":\"Next\",\"step_previous_label\":\"Previous\",\"button_width_mobile\":\"20\",\"step_type\":\"number_text\",\"step_icon_shape\":\"circle\"}' data-widget_type=\"form.default\">\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<label for=\"form-field-email\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tEmail\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/label><\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<button type=\"submit\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>Submit<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Since December 2025, Coluna has been pursuing legal action to secure the release of the shipment. The metal remains in the custody of the Federal Revenue Service while the case is still being heard in court.<\/p>\n<h2>Bank acted as intermediary in dollar payment<\/h2>\n<p>The financial transaction documents show that Standard Chartered\u2019s New York branch acted as an intermediary institution in the operation. In this role, the bank provides services to other financial institutions that require correspondent banking to settle payments in U.S. dollars.<\/p>\n<p>Intermediary banks are not legally required to monitor the activity of the clients of the banks to which they provide correspondent banking services, according to the FATF, the Financial Action Task Force. The FATF is an independent intergovernmental body that sets global standards to address anti-money laundering (AML), counter-terrorist financing (CFT), and the financing of weapons of mass destruction proliferation.<\/p>\n<p>The body considers, however, that such institutions should monitor the transactions of the originating bank to identify, for example, unusual activities or operations. \u201cThis would include ensuring that the original bank has robust policies in place to address illicit finance risks,\u201d says Julia Yansura, program director for Environmental Crime and Illicit Finance at the Financial Accountability and Corporate Transparency (FACT) Coalition.<\/p>\n<p>Pavel Boev, a sustainable supply chains and regulations researcher at Profundo, a Netherlands-based organization, explains that intermediary banks may have access to basic information about a dollar transfer, including client names, the banks involved and payment details. However, they may not necessarily see the documents supporting the commercial transaction, such as invoices, mining licences or customs files. \u201cAs a result, unless the payment data itself contains red flags, the intermediary bank may have limited ability (and, currently, no clear U.S. legal obligation) to verify whether the gold was legally or sustainably mined,\u201d Boev says.<\/p>\n<p>When contacted, Standard Chartered declined to comment on the case. Liverpool FC and MD Overseas did not respond to Rep\u00f3rter Brasil\u2019s questions by the time of publication.<\/p>\n<p>The report also contacted Coluna\u2019s representatives and lawyers, but likewise received no response. In the lawsuit filed to seek the release of the shipment, the company states that, even after submitting additional documents requested, such as invoices for the acquisition of the gold, and providing clarifications, \u201cCustoms Enforcement surprisingly remained inflexible, without explaining the reasons for its refusal to clear the goods.\u201d According to the DTVM\u2019s defense, this amounts to illegality and abuse of power.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement to <strong>Rep\u00f3rter Brasil<\/strong>, the customs office at Guarulhos International Airport said it could not provide details about Coluna\u2019s blocked gold shipment because of tax confidentiality rules. It added that customs authorities have a duty to inspect and prevent the export of gold classified as a financial asset \u201cwhenever evidence of irregularities is found.\u201d According to the agency, the Federal Revenue Service has identified, in other cases, \u201cdocumentation indicating mining disguised as garimpo,\u201d and its actions in similar blocked-shipment cases have been upheld by the judiciary.<\/p>\n<h2>US$8.2 million in gold sales in 2024<\/h2>\n<p>Among the businessmen allegedly involved in the scheme, according to the Federal Revenue Service, are the brothers Ray Robson Manica and Fabio Raul Manica. A report produced by the Customs Risk Management Service at Guarulhos Airport states that, in 2024 alone, the two allegedly sold about R$41 million (approximately US$8.2 million) of gold to various clients.<\/p>\n<p>The Manica brothers are partners in Grupo Manica Gold, a company that supplies equipment, parts and mechanical services for garimpo and mining operations. According to the agency, Ray owns seven excavators, six tractors and several trucks. Fabio, meanwhile, allegedly recorded R$4.86 million (US$972,000) in expenses in invoices in 2024 and 2025, including the purchase of 876,000 liters of diesel, an \u201cabsolutely incompatible volume for artisanal or associative mining activity,\u201d according to the report.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c876,000 liters in just over a year is not the consumption of an artisanal miner,\u201d says Andr\u00e9 Porreca Ferreira Cunha, a federal prosecutor at the Federal Public Prosecutor\u2019s Office in Amazonas. \u201cAn artisanal miner uses small engines, portable equipment, perhaps a pump or two. That volume can only be explained by heavy machinery operating continuously. Industrial mining, in short, disguised as artisanal mining,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n<p>For the Federal Revenue Service, the production volume declared by the brothers \u201cmakes it impossible to claim that the mineral was extracted through personal artisanal mining, typical of the individual work of a garimpeiro.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Partner in a gold-buying post and cooperative director<\/h2>\n<p>The Federal Revenue Service also analyzed the case of Jos\u00e9 Ant\u00f4nio da Silva Filho, a partner in J.A. Metais Preciosos, a gold-buying post based in Peixoto de Azevedo, in Mato Grosso state. Over the past two years, according to the agency, the businessman recorded about R$15 million (US$3 million) in purchases, including the acquisition of five excavators, one tractor and one loader, worth a total of R$9 million (US$1.8 million).<\/p>\n<p>Among the gold sellers to Coluna was also Claudio Andr\u00e9 Lo\u00e9sia, one of the directors of Coogavepe, the Cooperative of Miners of the Peixoto River Valley, and a partner at Gold Mine, which trades precious metals in Peixoto de Azevedo. In 2024, Lo\u00e9sia sold R$10 million (US$2 million) worth of gold to Coluna alone.<\/p>\n<p>The volume sold by the businessman \u201cis equivalent to around 14 kg, a quantity that is technically unlikely to be extracted by a single individual, given the need to process tons of rock or river tailings to obtain that amount,\u201d the oversight agency assessed.<\/p>\n<h2>Business partnerships do not invalidate miner status, businessmen say<\/h2>\n<p>In response to questions sent by Rep\u00f3rter Brasil, the brothers Ray and Fabio Manica said the facts mentioned in the report are the subject of an ongoing administrative procedure and that, so far, there has been no final administrative or judicial decision.<\/p>\n<p>The businessmen emphasized that the difference between the industrial mining regime and the PLG regime \u201clies primarily in the type of authorization granted and the nature of the exploitation, not in isolated indicators such as production volume, revenue, equipment fleet or consumption of inputs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Manica brothers also stressed that legislation allows garimpo mining under a cooperative regime, which may involve \u201cthe joint efforts of cooperative members, shared equipment and machinery, and common logistics, including the acquisition and consumption of inputs such as fuel,\u201d and that holding ownership or stakes in parallel business activities \u201cis not, from a legal standpoint, the same as the condition of being a cooperative miner.\u201d The full statement can be read here.<\/p>\n<p>Rep\u00f3rter Brasil also contacted Cooagavepe and the legal representatives of businessmen Jos\u00e9 Silva Filho and Claudio Lo\u00e9sia by email and phone, but received no response by the time of publication.<\/p>\n<h2>Dubai buyer and jewellery certification<\/h2>\n<p>MD Overseas DMCC is part of India\u2019s MD Overseas group, a member of the Responsible Jewellery Council. The council also has its own certification seal, and MD Overseas\u2019 operations in India were certified by the organization until March this year.<\/p>\n<p>In response to Rep\u00f3rter Brasil, the RJC said it recognizes \u201cthe seriousness of the issues raised\u201d by the report and stated that MD Overseas in Dubai was not included in the scope of the most recent certification of MD Overseas in India.<\/p>\n<p>The RJC also said it is reviewing the information presented by the report in accordance with its policies and procedures. \u201cAs a matter of policy, the RJC does not comment publicly on potential compliance reviews or ongoing internal processes,\u201d the organization said. The full statement can be read here.<\/p>\n<h2>Absence of rules on technical aspects<\/h2>\n<p>Gregor Daflon, spokesperson for Greenpeace Brazil\u2019s Indigenous Peoples Front, points out that the law that created the PLG did not establish restrictions on the scale or techniques used in this type of extraction.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis absence creates a regulatory gap that was quickly occupied by operations with significant environmental impact [which], formally, continue to be classified as garimpo,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n<p>One example of garimpo mining operated on an industrial scale, according to Greenpeace, can be seen in the operations of Coogavepe itself.<\/p>\n<p>According to a survey by the organization, the cooperative has 210 active mining processes covering an almost continuous area of about 290,000 hectares in the far north of Mato Grosso. In this area, according to Greenpeace, the cooperative declared that it extracted more than 27 tons of gold under CFEM, Brazil\u2019s Financial Compensation for Mineral Exploration, between 2018 and 2023.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we see in practice is a continuous, industrial-scale operation, incompatible with the legal concept of artisanal mining,\u201d Daflon summarizes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no way to reconcile the legal figure of the garimpeiro with someone who operates a fleet of trucks, dozens of excavators and tractors, and consumes fuel on an industrial scale,\u201d adds Andr\u00e9 Porreca, from the Federal Public Prosecutor\u2019s Office. \u201cAnyone working like that is not an artisanal miner; they are a mining entrepreneur. And a mining entrepreneur needs a mining concession, proper environmental licensing and all the obligations that come with that,\u201d he argues.<\/p>\n<p>The prosecutor is the author of an ongoing public civil action filed against Brazil\u2019s National Mining Agency in February 2025 to challenge the absence of technical rules and demand the creation of standards capable of distinguishing artisanal mining from commercial mining, including the definition of permitted machinery and extraction limits.<\/p>\n<p>Asked about the case, the agency did not respond to <strong>Rep\u00f3rter Brasil <\/strong>by the time of publication.<\/p>\n<h2>Gold without fingerprint<\/h2>\n<p>Coluna\u2019s export to Dubai also included 3 kg of gold purchased from another securities distributor, FD Gold. In the case of this shipment, Coluna stated that it had acquired the mineral on the secondary market, meaning it had already been purified. According to the Federal Revenue Service report, this justification \u201cled the exporter not to provide any proof of the gold\u2019s legal origin.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the expert report carried out by the Federal Revenue Service and attached to the case file, after the beneficiation and metallurgical concentration of the gold, \u201cinformation about the mineral\u2019s formation environment was erased,\u201d making it \u201cunlikely that the area where the goods were extracted can be identified.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>:: Read also: Gold mining companies facing environmental lawsuits and fines got R$90 million in tax breaks ::<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When contacted, FD Gold said in a statement that it \u201cdoes not condone, under any circumstances, unlawful or criminal acts\u201d and said that, due to tax confidentiality, it cannot provide information about purchase and sale operations involving gold as a financial asset. The DTVM also stated that it complies with the regulations applicable to the sector.
