The Federal Police classified the investment management of Rioprevidência, responsible for paying retired civil servants in Rio de Janeiro, as an “almanac of irregularities”. According to investigations, the former president of the institute Deivis Marcon Antunes was one of the central players in the alleged scheme that enabled a contribution of around 3 billion reais to shares linked to Banco Master. The transfers would have occurred due to “undue political interference” and not due to technical criteria, according to the PF.
The information is contained in the decision of Federal Supreme Court minister André Mendonça, who issued ten search and seizure warrants this Thursday at the addresses of the former governor of Rio Cláudio Castro and the former president of Rioprevidência.
“The Federal Police asserts that the person being investigated (Antunes) would be one of the agents appointed to practice fraudulent management, having operationalized the dynamics of applications in Letras Financeiras and investment funds with an “almanac of irregularities”, completely out of step with the interests of the RPPS (Personal Social Security Regime)”, says the order from the STF minister.
