"chestnut" is a literal but not faithful translation of "castanheira", it should really be "Brazil nut tree", which is somewhat more imposing than the run-of-the-mill chestnut tree:
It can live for hundreds of years; its wood used to be in high demand, but nowadays it's considered endangered so it's illegal to cut down a Brazil nut tree.
Our Federal Police's operations have names that range from awesome ("Egyptian Plague") to truly bizarre ("Deja Vu", "Titanic"). All in all, Chestnut Tree is a fairly mild one.
