Damares Publishes Approved CPMI Requests Naming Churches and Pastors After Malafaia’s Challenge

Overview

• Senator Damares Alves released a list of CPMI-approved requests that include summonses and financial-secrecy transfers involving specific evangelical churches and leaders.
• She said the measures are grounded in official documents such as financial intelligence reports and Federal Revenue data, and stressed the commission’s duty to investigate.
• The list cites entities including Adoração Church, Assembleia de Deus Ministério do Renovo, Ministério Deus é Fiel Church (SeteChurch) and Igreja Evangélica Campo de Anatote, and includes requests tied to André Valadão and other leaders.
• Pastor Silas Malafaia, who had announced a public challenge to Damares, criticized her for what he called generalized accusations and posted a video disputing her remarks.
• The CPMI reports analyzing about 4,800 documents and identifying 108 suspect companies, and it plans to ask the Supreme Court to suspend roughly 2 million contracts as the panel works toward a March deadline with a possible 60-day extension.
