Overview
- Operation Transparência centered on former Arthur Lira aide Mariângela Fialek after STF authorization by Minister Flávio Dino, with investigators alleging a continuous role in the release of opaque amendments.
- Arthur Lira does not currently appear as an investigated party, and the PF says it will examine intermediaries, execution at the local level, and potential involvement of lawmakers.
- Andrei Rodrigues criticized political leniency toward organized crime, citing the reversal of Rodrigo Bacellar’s preventive detention, and said the PF remains unmoved by political pressure.
- The PF reports R$9.6 billion in judicially blocked assets tied to organized crime in 2025, up from R$6.1 billion a year earlier, alongside increases in operations and arrests.
- The PF is probing the escape of Deputy Alexandre Ramagem, saying he left via Roraima, crossed into Guyana at an unofficial point, and flew from Georgetown to the U.S., with a suspect to be interrogated in the coming days.
