Watch the report read:
The request is part of the investigation conducted by the Federal Police investigating the case, considered the main development of the so-called Operation Without Discount.
According to investigations, the scheme involved unauthorized discounts on benefits for retirees and pensioners, carried out by associative entities with technical cooperation agreements signed with the INSS. The estimated loss exceeds R$7 billion from 2015 to 2025, with more than 10 million beneficiaries affected.
The request that supported the action was unanimously approved by CPMI in September 2025. Among the reasons presented are the existence of evidence of materiality and authorship of the crimes, in addition to risks to public order and procedural instruction, such as the possibility of coercion of witnesses, concealment of evidence and flight of those under investigation abroad.
The conclusions are based on data from the PF (Federal Police), the CGU (General Comptroller of the Union), the TCU (Federal Audit Court) and statements collected by the commission.
