Overview

• André Mendonça (relator), Edson Fachin and Kassio Nunes Marques voted to maintain preventive custody, Gilmar Mendes declared impediment, and Dias Toffoli’s vote remains pending.
• The case is being decided in the Second Panel’s virtual plenary, which remains open until Friday, Oct. 3, keeping the current detentions in place unless the outcome changes.
• Antônio Carlos Camilo Antunes and Maurício Camisotti were arrested on Sept. 12 in Operação Sem Desconto, which targets unauthorized associative discounts siphoned from INSS beneficiaries.
• Investigators report companies tied to Antunes received about R$53.6 million between 2022 and 2024 and transferred roughly R$9.3 million to people linked to the INSS, citing luxury assets, offshore activity and a U.S. property as flight‑risk indicators.
• Camisotti is described by the PF as a hidden partner and beneficiary of the scheme, while Antunes denied wrongdoing in a Sept. 25 CPMI appearance; the CPMI hears new witnesses on Sept. 29, including Conafer’s president and businessman Fernando Cavalcanti.
