In the same decision, Dino determined that the Attorney General of the Union (AGU) and ministries to elaborate, within 15 business days, a schedule for the analysis of amendment accounts between 2020 and 2024. The Comptroller General of the Union (CGU) should also audit the transfer to the Moriá Association, which received funds to organize Student Digital Sports Games in the Federal District. There are suspicions of overpricing and diversion of funds.
The minister also ordered Banco do Brasil, Caixa Econômica Federal and Banco do Nordeste to create specific accounts for collective amendments of benches and commissions. Other financial institutions should adopt mechanisms to prevent withdrawals in kind or irregular transfers. Dino stressed that, from the budget of 2026, the transfers of individual amendments will be made through a “order of payment of the partnership”, as it aims to expand traceability and control over resources.
