Antonio Carlos Camilo Antunes, known as “Bald of the INSS”, appointed as one of the main operators of fraud in the discounts of retirees and pensioners benefits, will not attend to testify to the National Parliamentary Commission (CPMI) of the National Institute of Social Security (INSS) on Monday (15). The collegiate canceled the session that was scheduled for 4pm.
In a decision last week, the Supreme Court (STF) Minister André Mendonça released the “Bald of the INSS” to give testimony to CPMI.
“We missed the opportunity to listen to one of the main investigated in the scandal that diverted resources from retirees. It is unfortunate, but the commission will continue to work for the truth to surface and the culprits are responsible,” said the president of the board, Senator Carlos Viana (Somos-MG).

At first, Antonio Camilo’s lawyers had told CPMI that. But this Monday, the defense team made a new analysis of the situation.
Behind the scenes, the defense says Antonio Camilo wants to present documents and explain himself about the facts, but there was a fear that parliamentarians would not let him talk and take advantage of CPMI to attack him. Therefore, the decision was not to attend the commission and present these explanations to the judiciary.
This Sunday (14), Viana had released a video confirming the trip of the “Bald of the INSS” to CPMI. “Despite the decision of STF Minister André Mendonça to make optional, that is, voluntary the trip of the two main involved in the INSS scandal to CPMI on Monday, the 15th, the hearing of Mr. Antonio Carlos Camilo Antunes, the” bald “, said in reference to businessman Mauricio Camisotti.

The Federal Police investigation points to the “Bald of the INSS” as one of the main operators of the fraudulent scheme of associative discounts in retirement.
Camisotti, in turn, is suspected of being a hidden partner of one of the associations involved in the scheme. The two were arrested on Friday, 12, in a new phase of the operation without discount.
