Overview
- The CGU informed the CPI it has opened nine confidential procedures against INSS staff—one disciplinary case, seven patrimonial inquiries into possible illicit enrichment, and one preliminary probe—with potential administrative sanctions and referrals to police and prosecutors.
- The CPI hears CGU minister Vinícius Carvalho today after recently taking testimony from Antônio Carlos Camilo Antunes and ordering two arrests tied to the unauthorized deductions scheme.
- Federal Police assert Antunes received about R$53 million from associations and sent at least R$9.3 million to people linked to former INSS directors, allegations he denies, as the STF Second Panel has a majority to maintain his and Maurício Camisotti’s preventive detention pending a final vote.
- PF records sent to the CPI list high-end assets seized from Antunes across three phases—Porsches, Audis, BMWs, a Land Rover, and motorcycles—treated by investigators as signs of illicit enrichment.
- A document reported by O Antagonista shows a CGU official advised the INSS last year to prepare a 'positive agenda' to handle public reaction to audit findings, reflecting concern over reputational fallout.
