Informados del falso procedimiento

Spanish to English Art/Literary Idioms / Maxims / Sayings
THis is from a chronology of Argentine painter Carlos Alonso:

Ya en Buenos Aires y los pocos días del golpe recibe en su estudio una visita intimidatoria de dos personas que se presentan como funcionarios de Migraciones. Informados del falso procedimiento, Alonso y su familia se mudan al departamento de un amigo.

Clearly the family is in danger from the military government, but I don't understand the specific phrase.
