CBPA Chief Testifies as Coaf Flags R$410 Million Flows and Nearly R$100 Million in INSS Deductions

The hearing follows Coaf reports that traced unusually large movements through the association’s accounts.

Overview

  • Financial‑intelligence records show a CBPA account at a Banco do Brasil branch in Ceilândia moved R$410 million between May 2024 and May 2025.
  • Coaf documents indicate the confederation collected nearly R$100 million via associative discounts on INSS benefits from December 2023 to May 2025 under a cooperation agreement.
  • Investigators traced transfers from the CBPA to firms tied to Antônio Carlos Camilo Antunes, including roughly R$5 million to Prospect Consultoria and R$1.7 million to Acca Consultoria, as well as R$20.3 million to Plataforma Consultoria.
  • The CBPA and its president remain targets of the Federal Police’s Operation Sem Desconto, with assets frozen at the AGU’s request and the entity described by lawmakers as a central node in the suspected scheme.
  • A Federal Police inquiry cites suspicious payments to regional figures, including at least R$4.5 million to Maranhão state deputy Edson Cunha, while the CBPA denies wrongdoing and says it offers legitimate member benefits.
