The Polícia Civil do Distrito Federal (PCDF) has launched an investigation into the fintech company Naskar Gestão de Ativos following a wave of complaints from clients. Investors reported significant difficulties accessing their funds, persistent problems with the company's mobile application, and a complete lack of communication from the firm.
According to the PCDF, four separate police reports were filed against Naskar between Thursday, May 7th, and Friday, May 8th. The reports were registered at different police stations, and each unit will conduct its own independent investigation into the allegations.
The financial scale of the alleged incident is substantial. Two contracting companies have come forward, estimating their combined losses to be at least R$335 million. This figure represents the immediate, documented impact on these specific entities.
However, the potential scope of the crisis extends far beyond these initial reports. When considering Naskar's entire operational portfolio, the estimated total value of contracts at risk is approximately R$850 million. This broader exposure could potentially affect more than 2,700 individuals and entities, according to information provided by Grupo Nexco, one of the companies involved.
In response to the mounting allegations, Naskar Gestão de Ativos issued an official statement. The company confirmed it has initiated an internal audit process. The statement claims this action was taken after the company itself identified inconsistencies within its own database, suggesting the issues may stem from internal operational failures.
The investigation by the PCDF is ongoing. Authorities are working to determine the full extent of the financial discrepancies and whether any criminal activity, such as misappropriation of funds or fraud, has occurred. The independent nature of the multiple police investigations means the case is being examined from several angles simultaneously.
This situation has sent shockwaves through the local investment community, raising serious questions about oversight and due diligence in the fintech sector. Clients who entrusted their capital to Naskar now face uncertainty regarding the recovery of their investments.
