Representative Alfredo Gaspar, from União Brasil, told Poder360 that he will present “all the facts, signs and those responsible”; commission that investigates fraud in social security benefits may be extended
The rapporteur of the CPMI (Mixed Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry) of the INSS, Alfredo Gaspar (União Brasil-AL) said this Wednesday (4.Feb.2026), in an interview with Poder360which your final report will have “all the facts, signs and those responsible”but you don’t know if it will be approved because of what you called “generalized shielding”. He stated that the commission, which investigates deviations in retirement and pensions, will not “finish in pizza”expression used when it does not bring results.
“For my part, all the facts, indications and those responsible will be contained in the report. Whether the board will approve this widespread shielding, I can’t say. I eat pizza at home when I ask for it to be delivered. I’m not going to bring it to Congress. I make a point of showing Brazilian society the difference between those who work seriously and those who work shielding criminals”he stated.
Watch the interview (39min10s):
The presentation of the report, however, may be delayed. The president of CPMI, (Podemos-MG), must meet with the president of the Senate, (União Brasil-AP), to request the extension of the collegiate for another 60 days.
The senator said it was necessary to prolong the work due to the volume of evidence gathered and the need to conclude important hearings for the investigations.
Gaspar stated that the collegiate needs another 2 months to complete the investigations, without interfering in the October elections. According to him, “no one needs an extension to unnecessarily expand the investigation”.
OPERATION WITHOUT DISCOUNT
On April 23, 2024, the PF (Federal Police) launched the No Discount operation to investigate a scheme of undue discounts on INSS retirements and pensions.
The investigation identified the existence of irregularities related to discounts on association fees applied without authorization from beneficiaries on their retirement and pensions, granted by the INSS.
The commission’s objective is to determine the responsibilities of public agents and associative entities in the scheme. According to the CGU (General Comptroller of the Union), the estimated loss is R$6.3 billion. The focus is on discounts made without authorization in the benefits of elderly people and pensioners.
