Salaries for these professionals vary between R$10,027 and R$37,988.22, resulting in an annual cost that exceeds R$8.8 million
O represented by Lucas Furtado, made a request to the Federal Audit Court (TCU) for the salaries of 25 soldiers who were indicted by the Federal Police to be suspended. These soldiers are suspected of involvement in an attempted coup d’état that took place in 2022, during the presidency of Jair Bolsonaro. The salaries of these professionals vary between R$10,027 and R$37,988.22, resulting in an annual cost that exceeds R$8.8 million. In addition to the 25 soldiers, the Federal Police indicted a total of 37 people. Furtado also requests that the suspension of payments apply to all those indicted, not just the military. The deputy prosecutor argues that it is unacceptable for the government to continue to pay individuals facing such serious charges, which can carry sentences of up to 28 years in prison.
Another measure proposed by Furtado is the freezing of the assets of those indicted. This action aims to guarantee the repair of the damages caused by the invasion of the headquarters of the Three Powers, which occurred on January 8, 2023. The losses resulting from this event are estimated at R$56 million, and the deputy prosecutor believes that those responsible must bear the financial consequences of their actions. The list of indicted military personnel includes retired generals who held ministerial positions during the Bolsonaro government. The situation raises questions about responsibility and ethics in public service, especially in cases involving state security and democracy.
