INSS Fraud CPMI Sets Vote to Summon AGU Chief After Second Canceled Hearing

A planned vote to call Jorge Messias signals an effort to expand accountability beyond the INSS.

Overview

  • The INSS inquiry again canceled its meeting on November 24 after Rodrigo Moraes secured a habeas corpus to skip testimony and Jucimar Fonseca da Silva submitted a new medical note.
  • The Senate medical board assessed Jucimar’s records and said he is fit to testify, and the commission has asked a court to authorize his coercive attendance, with a decision pending.
  • Commission chair Carlos Viana confirmed the next session for Thursday, November 27 at 9 a.m., with a vote on summoning Attorney General of the Union Jorge Messias on the agenda.
  • PL leader Sóstenes Cavalcante praised the move and alleged the AGU ignored warnings about irregularities, while reports note Messias is not cited as a target in the fraud probe.
  • The CPMI is examining suspected diversion of social‑security benefits and financial ties involving ARPAR and lobbyist Antônio Carlos Camilo Antunes, known as “Careca do INSS.”
