The Bets CPI faces internal conflicts, with Soraya Thronicke asking for the exchange of Ciro Nogueira after controversy over travel.
Das Lives a tense moment, marked by a clash between the rapporteur, of Somos, and Senator Ciro Nogueira, from PP. Soraya requested the exchange of Cyrus in the commission, arguing that this measure is necessary to maintain the integrity of the work, especially after a contradiction involving his relationship with an entrepreneur who is under investigation. The controversy emerged after the disclosure that Ciro had traveled to Monaco in a jet belonging to Fernando Oliveira Lima, one of the targets of the CPI. In response to Soraya’s request, Ciro did not hesitate to criticize the rapporteur, questioning her credibility and implying that she would be linked to a lobbyist with extortion history.
Soraya, in turn, denied the accusations made by Ciro and revealed that she has faced threats from other senators who are aligned with the interests of the betting sector. The request for the replacement of Ciro was sent to Senator Hiran Gonçalves, leader of the Aliança Block, who has not yet commented on the issue. Since its beginning on November 12, 2024, Bets CPI has faced significant challenges, including low participation sessions and an expectation that results are limited. The extension of the work by June 14 does not seem to have brought a renewed spirit to members of the committee, who struggle to advance the investigations.
