Overview

• Lawmakers approved two requests to question businessman Maurício Camisotti, who remains in Federal Police custody with detention upheld by the Supreme Court, with the hearing dependent on Justice André Mendonça’s authorization.
• The commission voted to ask the Supreme Court to order the preventive detention of Conafer president Carlos Roberto Ferreira Lopes, citing suspected irregular authorizations and an estimated R$800 million in associative discounts.
• The CPMI approved convocations of ex-INSS prosecutor Virgílio Antônio Ribeiro de Oliveira Filho, his wife Thaissa Hoffmann Jonasson, his sister Maria Paula Xavier da Fonseca Oliveira, and ex-payments coordinator Jucimar Fonseca da Silva, after inquiries cited R$11.9 million received via companies tied to Ribeiro’s family.
• Members passed 88 measures including subpoenas and bank and phone record breaks linked to entities under PF and CGU scrutiny, while rejecting by 16–14 the bid to hear Edson Claro Medeiros Júnior, who told police he was threatened by “Careca do INSS.”
• CGU minister Vinicius Marques de Carvalho testified that he grasped the scheme’s full scope only in March 2024 despite internal monitoring since 2019, sharpening questions about institutional timing and information-sharing.
