The president of Progressives (), the senator, anticipated the after liability, in reserved conversations, assistants of the president () for the dissemination of suspicions that entrepreneurs involved with the CCP (first command of the capital) would have picked it to him.
The senator denies “any connection with any criminal faction” and sent a letter to the Minister of Justice, Ricardo Lewandowski, putting the telephone secrecy and his office available to prove the statement.
The summit of the Progressive Union Federation, from the União Brasil and PP parties, decided on Tuesday (2) that all holders of mandates of the acronyms should leave the Lula administration, in the first rupture gesture.
On Monday (1), he published a report that an anonymous source said Ciro Nogueira received in his cash office sent by Mohamad Hussein Mourad, “Cousin”, and Roberto Augusto Leme da Silva, “Beto Crazy”.
The two were mega -operation targets last week and are accused by the IRS to head a CCP money laundering scheme, using gas stations, refineries and investment funds.
Also according to the ICL, the witness says he had heard from Beto Louco the report of delivery of money to the senator and told this information to the Federal Police in testimony. The meeting would have occurred in August 2024.
One of the three journalists who signs the article, Leandro Demori is hired from EBC (Brazilian Communication Company), where he has a program. The station is linked to the Minister’s Secretariat of Social Communication.
At meetings with allies in recent days, Ciro would have stated that government members have spread false information about the case. According to a politician who was with the senator, he would have attributed the accusations especially to Sidonius.
The parliamentarian complains of the reproduction of the report by EBC and the PT website, which points as proof of participation of Lula’s allies in the spread of these rumors.
In the conversations, Ciro even expressed the intention to propose the installation of a CPI (Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry) on Lula government communication and its relationship with websites.
The senator was minister of the Civil House during the Bolsonaro government and is one of the main enthusiasts behind the scenes of a candidacy by Governor Tarcisio de Freitas (Republicans) to the presidency in the 2026 elections.
He and the president of União Brasil, Antonio Rueda, articulated the creation of the Progressive Union, party federation that now forms the largest bench of the National Congress, with 109 federal deputies and 15 senators.
According to the decision on Tuesday (2), ministers affiliated to the federation parties should leave the government. They are André Fufuca (Sport) and Celso Sabino (Tourism), federal deputies licensed by PP and União Brasil, respectively.
There is a breach, however, to indicate politicians of these parties, such as ministers Waldez Góes (regional development) and Frederico de Siqueira Filho (communications), continue on the terrace.
The federation also decided to support an amnesty project to Jair Bolsonaro (PL). Sought, Ciro and Sidonius did not speak.
