About this listen
It wasn’t just a robbery—it was an engineering marvel disguised as a crime.
In August 2005, a crew of thieves in Fortaleza, Brazil, pulled off one of the largest bank heists in history. By digging a tunnel stretching nearly 80 meters beneath the city, they reached the Banco Central’s vault and made off with almost $70 million in unmarked bills. No alarms. No violence. Just silence, dirt, and methodical brilliance.
The Banco Central Heist: Brazil’s Underground Coup (2005) tells the mind-blowing true story of how this crew outwitted a nation’s financial safeguards using deception, discipline, and raw determination. From a fake landscaping business to expertly-laid tunnels and airtight planning, their operation shocked the world and changed bank security forever.
Author James G. Edwards II delivers a gripping, cinematic retelling of one of history’s boldest crimes—perfect for fans of Money Heist, The Great Train Robbery, and The Feather Thief. With overtones of political intrigue and unanswered questions, this is a true crime saga you won’t forget.
