STF Minister notifies Chamber and parliamentarians after Tabata Amaral denounces scheme that connects public transfers to electoral marketing and biopic of the former president
Minister Flávio Dino determined, last Friday (20), that the Chamber of Deputies and deputies Mário Frias, Bia Kicis and Marcos Pollon speak out within five working days about irregularities in the allocation of parliamentary amendments. The decision was taken within the scope of ADPF 854 — the STF’s central process on transparency of amendments — and is the first time that the Court has notably summoned PL parliamentarians to explain specific transfers of the Pix type.
The trigger was a letter presented by deputy Tabata Amaral (PSB-SP), which denounces a group of four legal entities under the management of Karina Ferreira da Gama — the Instituto conhecimento Brasil (ICB), the Academia Nacional de Cultura (ANC), Go Up Entertainment and Saibar Brasil Assessoria — all with the same address and shared structure.
According to the complaint, the ANC had received R$2.6 million in Pix amendments from PL deputies, including Ramagem, Zambelli, Bia Kicis and Marcos Pollon. The ICB, in turn, signed a contract worth R$108 million with the City of São Paulo, under Ricardo Nunes, and received amendments from deputy Mário Frias.
The problem highlighted is simultaneity: while the entities received public funds for social and cultural purposes, conhecimento Brasil Assessoria provided electoral marketing services to the campaigns of the same parliamentarians who signed the amendments. The complaint also points out that public resources may have served as indirect support for the film “Dark Horse”, a biopic of Bolsonaro produced by one of the group’s companies.
The MP-SP is already investigating part of the facts, with a process that accumulates more than 8,400 pages.
