Careca do INSS Set to Testify at CPMI Today After In-Session Arrest of Associate

Federal Police link Antônio Carlos Camilo Antunes to a scheme that diverted funds from INSS benefits, with luxury assets and financial records already seized.

Overview

  • Antunes will appear under a Supreme Court ruling that allows him to remain silent during the public hearing.
  • His attendance follows the commission’s decision to summon his wife, son and associates and to break his fiscal, banking and telephone secrecy.
  • The Federal Police told the CPMI it seized 14 vehicles linked to Antunes worth about R$6.3 million in three phases of Operation Sem Desconto.
  • Case files describe large financial movements, frequent international travel and a reported U.S. house purchase that investigators cite as signs of concealment and flight risk.
  • Lawmakers plan to vote on new subpoenas and Coaf reports, as a false-testimony inquiry against ex-director Rubens Oliveira Costa—detained during a session and later released without bail—moves to federal court.
