Overview
- TI president François Valérian sent letters to the Casa Civil, CGU and the Presidency’s Secretariat‑General demanding a correction of the claim and an end to what he called intimidation.
- TI says there is no public record or formal notice of any Federal Police inquiry into its Brazil chapter and questions whether confidential information is being invoked for political purposes.
- The Casa Civil’s Jan. 5 note responded to TI’s analysis of the Novo PAC and asserted that all program data is available on official transparency portals.
- As of publication, the Casa Civil, CGU and Secretariat‑General had not offered substantive public responses to TI’s request for clarification or retraction.
- TI’s study cites major transparency gaps in the Novo PAC, with detail links for about 36% of 23,059 listed projects and documentation for R$79.5 billion of R$1.3 trillion planned, while also warning of governance and environmental oversight risks; the group also ties the dispute to earlier attacks it says were refuted and notes it took the matter to the IACHR.
