I am thinking that in this context possibly "framed"
QUE o depoente assinou o documento por coação, com um revólver empunhado por ABC apontado contra si, na presença de todos os que participavam da reunião; QUE o depoente não foi responsável por qualquer desfalque, tendo sido vítima de CAETANO e VICENTE numa espécie de armação;

Given the context, "revolver empunhado", it seemed like a stick up to me!!

conspiracy
pronunciation
n., pl. -cies.
1. An agreement to perform together an illegal, wrongful, or subversive act.
2. A group of conspirators.
3. Law. An agreement between two or more persons to commit a crime or accomplish a legal purpose through illegal action.
4. A joining or acting together, as if by sinister design: a conspiracy of wind and tide that devastated coastal areas.
[Middle English conspiracie, from Anglo-Norman, probably alteration of Old French conspiration, from Latin cōnspīrātiō, cōnspīrātiōn-, from cōnspīrātus, past participle of cōnspīrāre, to conspire. See conspire.]
uma espécie de armação...sounds like a conspiracy between the two.

setup
See:
http://www.hyperdictionary.com/search.aspx?define=setup
The same sense as airmailrpl's frame up... not exactly a setup, but ast the text says, "a type of setup"
Trap (armadilha) is also close to the idea
