Former governor of the Federal District and pre-candidate to return to office, (PSD) says he does not want the current occupant of the position, (MDB), to be impeached. This Friday (23), the opposition filed a request with the Legislative Chamber of the Federal District.
The initiative took place after it was revealed that the former banker told him about the sale of the bank to BRB (Banco de Brasília). The mention of the governor was published by the newspaper and confirmed by Sheet.
Arruda says he is unable to assess the political impact of the episode on the electoral race in the Federal District. He must run for government against the current vice-governor, Celina Leão, and names from the left.
“But the impact on the GDF’s public accounts [governo do Distrito Federal] It’s devastating,” he says. “And the risk of losing BRB as a public development bank is terrible.”
Asked whether Vorcaro’s testimony could have any influence on an Ibaneis impeachment process, the former governor replied: “Honestly, I don’t want that outcome.”
He also said he was not able to evaluate the government’s relations with the local Legislature, “which was in a very subservient position”. “But it all depends on further investigations,” he said.
The opposition tries to collect signatures for one, but is faced with a lack of support from the government base.
Arruda also describes the Master crisis as the “biggest bank fraud in history”. “It’s terrible to see BRB, which has an important history of services provided to the Central-West region, involved in this, for who knows what interests”, he adds.
Pivot of the DEM’s monthly allowance, Arruda was arrested and convicted in cases arising from the 2009 Pandora’s Box operation, when he was . In 2022, the TSE (Superior Electoral Court) for federal deputy.
In October, the First Panel of the STJ (Superior Court of Justice) upheld Arruda’s conviction for administrative improbity, still in a process derived from Pandora’s Box. The former governor, however, claims that he is ready to run for the DF government in 2026.
