When contacted through his press office, Motta did not comment. The report did not locate Ivanadja.
The procedure at the Federal Public Ministry was opened following a representation by former deputy and former public prosecutor Deltan Dallagnol, who cited reports from the Metrópoles website.
Ivanadja, according to reports, has powers of attorney to operate the current accounts of several employees in the parliamentarian’s office. The president of the Chamber has refused to respond to journalists about the case.
Last month, the Public Prosecutor’s Office in the DF consulted the (Federal Audit Court) about the existence of any internal investigation procedure regarding the matter.
On the 31st, the TCU responded that there is no process that deals with damage to the treasury involving Motta, but that there is another representation in court that deals with the case.
In July, the Sheet showed that Motta kept it in his office.
At the time, the president of the Chamber said, through his advisor, that he valued “strict compliance with the obligations of employees in his office, including those who work remotely and are exempt from duty within the rules established by the Chamber”.
One was a physiotherapist and worked in two private clinics in Brasília. Another combined the position of parliamentary secretary with that of social worker at João Pessoa City Hall.
A third went on to accumulate two other public jobs with the functions she was supposed to perform in the cabinet, even after the report revealed that she was attending college full time and that she even lived in another state while she was hired to work as an advisor. She was only exonerated in October.
In addition to these three cases, the Sheet revealed that Motta employs in his office the caretaker of his farm in Serraria (PB), a city of 6,000 inhabitants 131 km from João Pessoa and 225 km from.
