INSS Inquiry Relator Threatens Arrest as CBPA Chief Stays Silent at CPMI Hearing

The case centers on an entity under asset freezes after reports flagged suspicious flows, including attempts to charge deceased beneficiaries.

Overview

  • CBPA president Abraão Lincoln appeared before the INSS CPMI with an STF habeas corpus and declined to answer most questions.
  • Relator Alfredo Gaspar said he would seek the arrest of the witness for false testimony for refusing to address non–self-incriminating queries, and the session was briefly suspended.
  • Gaspar cited a CGU finding of 40,054 attempted registrations to bill associative discounts to deceased persons in 2023–2024, which the witness would not discuss.
  • Financial intelligence reports indicate nearly R$100 million in associative discounts collected by the CBPA and R$410 million moved through a Banco do Brasil account in Ceilândia, with transfers to firms linked to Antônio Carlos Camilo Antunes.
  • The CBPA and its president have had bank and tax secrecy broken and assets blocked, while the confederation denies being a shell entity and claims a nationwide network of federations and fishing colonies.
