The police knock once again on the PL’s door
Hello PF. The PL deputies from Rio de Janeiro, Sóstenes Cavalcante and Carlos Jordy, are the target of the PF in an operation against gaps in parliamentary quotas. Federal Police agents execute seven search and seizure warrants, issued by the STF, in the DF and Rio de Janeiro. PF seized R$430,000 from Sóstenes Cavalcante’s hotel room.
Quota deviation: Dino cites “non-existent expenses” and “strong evidence” against Sóstenes and Jordy. PF launched, this Friday (12/19), Operation Galho Fraco, which deepens investigations into the misappropriation of public resources
The PL group is only growing. Sóstenes and Jordy join Josimar Maranhãozinho (PL-MA), Pastor Gil (PL-MA) Bosco Costa (PL-SE) in the team of Bolsonaro deputies who must explain the discrepancies in the amendments. The difference is that the last three have already been reported by the PGR
My house, my life. Sóstenes claims that the R$430,000 found by the PF came from property sales. “Learn one thing: corruption money does not appear sealed, identified and officially collected at your home. Anyone who wants to make a living from corruption puts it elsewhere. I sold a property, the property was paid to me with legal money, it is sealed, it has its origins, so I have nothing to fear”
Toxic waste management. Centrão pressured Motta to resolve the Council’s dismissal of Ramagem and Eduardo to avoid exhausting the deputies in plenary. Behind the scenes, the observation is that there was an error in the strategy adopted last week with MP Carla Zambelli (PL-SP), when the case was brought to the plenary. Taking the processes to plenary, as has been envisaged, would be considered a “kick in the foot” (G1).
TCU sees signs of haste in Master liquidation, gives BC 72 hours to explain. In a decree, the Minister of TCU, Jhonatan de Jesus, is already considering imposing precautionary measures against the Central Bank
STF recognizes the existence of structural racism in Brazil and determines the adoption of the measures. The ministers differed on “an unconstitutional situation”, but agreed on joint actions. The Court set 12 months for the federal government to revise the National Racial Equality Plan (Folha)
