Flavio Dino orders the Arabian Gulf University to open liability procedures for improper application of the amendments policy

The decision was taken based on a report submitted by the Comptroller General of the Federation (CGU unit), which was achieved by the existence of a “ratio” of values ​​and a division of the objectives of the amendments of the Commission and the committees.

For Al-Qadi, the Coordination Unit’s conclusions indicate that there are indications of “uniqueness, fragmentation, and weak transparency of the collective amendments to the 2025 budget.”

“It is unacceptable, in parallel with institutional efforts to eliminate practices associated with the “secret budget,” that individual maneuvers continue with the aim of circumventing the decisions of this committee, which are supported by the Constitution and Supplementary Law No. 1.” “Law No. 210/2024 (which sets the guidelines for implementing the amendments),” Dino added.

The Minister also decided that the Arab Gulf Union and Congress should submit by November 30 a new report monitoring the implementation of the joint action plan and express their opinion on the conclusions of the Arab Gulf Union, indicating, if possible, the measures they will take to resolve the identified violations.

Part of the fragmentation of plots was determined by ministerial orders without a standard. In this sense, Dino ordered the Civil Chamber to review these decrees within 60 days and take the necessary measures to unify the “generalities, discrepancies and asymmetries” that “make it difficult for parliamentary amendments to adhere to government planning, which violates constitutional duties.”

In the same way, Dino also ordered the Federal Police (PF) to analyze whether there is a need to open new investigations or add signs of irregularities to existing investigations into the transfer of parliamentary amendments targeting NGOs and third sector entities. This referral came from another CGU report, which analyzed the distribution of resources to these recipients from 2020 to 2024.

The oversight body identified violations that led to damage to the public treasury in the amount of 15.18 million Brazilian reals, equivalent to 4.5% of the audited amount. According to the minister, a critical scenario was found, represented by “the fragility of the implementation of parliamentary amendments by civil society organizations, which is characterized by structural defects, lack of governance, contractual violations, and weak oversight.”

For Dino, the scenario jeopardizes “legality, ethics and administrative efficiency” and requires “the urgent adoption of repressive measures that enhance the accountability of the agents involved, where appropriate, as well as the restructuring of damages.”
