Overview

  • Duarte Jr. filed a police report accusing state deputy Edson Araújo of death threats sent via WhatsApp after being questioned about transfers linked to the CBPA.
  • CPI president Carlos Viana authorized protection and formally asked Chamber President Hugo Motta for a Polícia Legislativa escort in Brasília and Federal Police protection for Duarte’s family in Maranhão.
  • The committee approved a face-to-face confrontation between Antônio Carlos Camilo Antunes, known as “Careca do INSS,” and lawyer Eli Cohen to resolve conflicting testimony.
  • Members voted to send five preventive detention requests to the Supreme Court naming Felipe Macedo Gomes, Domingos Sávio de Castro, Rubens Oliveira Costa, Vinícius Ramos da Cruz, and Silas Vaz, citing risks to public order and the investigation.
  • Earlier this week, CBPA president Abraão Lincoln was arrested during a hearing for alleged false testimony, and the Chamber’s police opened an inquiry that will be sent to Maranhão’s state court after the internal phase.
