Overview

• Ministers André Mendonça, Edson Fachin and Kassio Nunes Marques voted to maintain the arrests, Gilmar Mendes declared himself impeded, and Dias Toffoli has yet to vote.
• The case is being decided in the Second Chamber’s virtual plenary, and the majority keeps both suspects in custody as the judgment window remains open until 3 October.
• Antônio Carlos Camilo Antunes and Maurício Camisotti were arrested on 12 September in Operation Sem Desconto, which investigates illegal discounts on INSS benefits.
• Investigators say companies linked to Antunes received about R$53.5 million from associations and intermediaries and transferred more than R$9 million to people tied to the INSS.
• Reports of luxury vehicles, frequent foreign travel and a U.S. property bolster allegations of concealment and flight risk, while Antunes denied wrongdoing in testimony to the CPI.
