The president of the CPI (Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry) that investigates irregular discounts on social security benefits, Senator Carlos Viana (Somos-MG), said on Tuesday (16) that the board wants to go to the Federal Police to reap the testimony of Antonio Carlos Camilo Antunes, known as ‘Bald of the INSS’ and pointed with one of the scheme operators.
The idea was publicly mentioned for the first time, also this Tuesday, by the CPI rapporteur, Deputy Alfredo Gaspar (Union-AL). He talked about the possibility of displacement for testimonials from Antunes and Maurício Camisotti, another of the alleged heads of the irregular discount scheme. Then Viana endorsed.
The reason this idea is ventilated is the decision of the Supreme Court Minister André Mendonça who gave both the right to choose whether or not to testify to the CPI.
. They had signaled that they would speak to the commission. The meetings were scheduled but after Mendonça’s decision ,.
At the time, Camisotti’s defense stated that there was no reason to arrest. Antunes said that he is the discount scheme operator “is a bizarre.”
The argument of both Gaspar and Viana is that Mendonça’s decision prevents coercive driving to a collegiate meeting, not a trip by deputies and senators to meet the deponents.
“The question is not the coercive driving to CPI? So we go to the Federal Police. We will contact the head of the Federal Police and will try, as a gesture of goodwill, to talk once again with the Supreme Court Minister André Mendonça, so that he works with us,” Viana told journalists after the meeting held by CPI on Monday.
The cancellation of the testimonials of Antunes and Camisotti frustrated CPI members. The ‘bald of the INSS’ is the most famous figure in the scandal. Deputies and senators imagined that his statements could make the collegiate gear.
In response to the cancellation, the commission approved to testify. Also in the package is lawyer Nelson Wilians, who was the target of the investigators last week. The testimonials must be scheduled for Thursday (18).
