This is from a criminal deposition
This is from a deposition in a criminal trial where there are attached exhibits. Here is the sentence: Mr. X, o tema aqui nominado no anexo, no próximo anexo é troca de chumbo, Mr. Y, Banco X. Can anyone help me understand what this means? Is chumbo here an idiomatic term for something? I don't believe it means lead (the heavy metal) in this context.

fraud triangle lending
"A troca de chumbo consiste em operações triangulares entre duas instituições financeiras integrantes de diferentes grupos econômicos para a emissão de crédito a empresas que também fazem parte desses conglomerados. A prática adotada infringe as Leis 4.595/64 (artigo 34) e 7.492/86 (artigo 17), que vedam a concessão de empréstimos de uma entidade financeira a suas sociedades controladoras." - https://politica.estadao.com.br/blogs/fausto-macedo/justica-...
I wonder if the notion of "fraud triangle model" might be helpful for this particular context. I would probably go from there.
"The fraud triangle is a model for explaining the factors that cause someone to commit occupational fraud. It consists of three components which, together, lead to fraudulent behavior:
1. Perceived unshareable financial need
2. Perceived opportunity
3. Rationalization" - https://www.acfe.com/fraud-triangle.aspx

I hope this helps.

Or perhaps simply "illegal lending".

crossfire
Figuratively.
http://www.forensicscommunity.com/publicforum/crossfire
First, crossfire is not a shouting match. NEVER raise the voice. When an exchange escalates into a heated argument, and both sides get carried away, everybody loses. Instead, if it is noticed that opponents are acting more “excitable,” back off and calm down.

covered transactions
In fact, "troca de chumbo" is an idiomatic expression, which may relate either to an exchange of offenses between individuals, or a fraudulent loan activity. As to what concerns the subject litigation proceedings, I think this matter is covered in Brazil by sec. 34, IV of Act 4.595, dated 12.31.1964, Bacen (Braz Central Bank) Circular Letter nr. 302, of 03.28.1966, and sec. 17 of Act 7.492/86, and similarly in the U.S. by 18 U.S.C. § 1006 - Federal credit institution entries, reports and transactions / FRB's Regulation W / CFR 12 Part 223.) Please see Teresa Borges's discussion entry below on "Troca de chumbo" (Triangulação de empréstimos fraudulentos entre instituições financeiras e empresas.)
