When communicating Alves’ dismissal, in the same month, the AGU released a note stating that it had opened a “preliminary instruction, of an investigative nature, to verify whether there was a disciplinary transgression” against the server. The ordinance announcing his dismissal states that it was “by request”.
A Sheet questioned the AGU about the results of the preliminary investigation, but received no response. The report contacted Alves, but he did not respond.
In a note, the Tarcísio management said that Alves “is a career federal attorney at the Attorney General’s Office and meets all the technical requirements for appointment as President of the Board of Directors of SPPrev.”
According to the note, “in the procedure initiated by the AGU it was clarified that the civil servant was at the meeting because he was officially summoned”. The note also states that “the AGU file has already been archived”.
