Overview

• The watchdog reports R$9.4 billion in such allocations since 2020, with 61% not traceable and only R$3.7 billion identified via internal Plano Orçamentário codes.
• Unlike standard bench amendments recorded under RP 7, these allocations are logged as RP 2 discretionary spending and are nonmandatory, which blends them with routine outlays and hinders oversight.
• Codevasf emerged as a key destination, receiving R$408.3 million in 2024, with LAI-obtained letters showing lawmakers directing beneficiaries and using phrases like “minha cota” to split quotas.
• At least R$79.1 million were committed during the 2024 window when the STF had paused certain amendments, as Justice Flávio Dino later directed any probe on executive-used funds to a separate case and the government and Congress denied illegality.
• The group reiterates its June finding that R$8.5 billion in 2025 committee amendments follow the same pattern, as House leaders now discuss delayed execution of amendments with the government.
