Overview

• Andre Mendonça voted to maintain the preventive detention of Antonio Carlos Camilo Antunes, known as Careca do INSS, and entrepreneur Maurício Camisotti.
• Gilmar Mendes declared himself impeded from participating in this judgment.
• Dias Toffoli, Edson Fachin, and Nunes Marques must record their votes in the electronic docket by October 3.
• Mendonça justified the measure by pointing to indications of a complex scheme harming thousands and to the need to safeguard the investigation, which proceeds under judicial secrecy.
• The Federal Police inquiry investigates unauthorized associative-fee deductions from INSS benefits, with reports tying Antunes-linked firms to intermediary roles and tracking R$53 million to him plus transfers of more than R$9 million to people linked to the INSS.
