The PL filed, this Tuesday (10), a request for the opening of a Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry (CPI) in the Legislative Chamber of the Federal District (CLDF) with the aim of investigating Banco BRB’s involvement in the Master case scandal. The decision represents a break between the acronym and governor Ibaneis Rocha (MDB), a supporter of former president Jair Bolsonaro, who has sought to garner Bolsonaro’s support to run on the party’s Senate ticket.
According to the party, the deliberation took place based on a report released by GLOBO this Tuesday morning. As columnist Malu Gaspar showed, Ibaneis’ law firm closed a contract worth R$38 million involving the sale of precatório fees to a fund linked to Reag, a manager investigated by the Federal Police (PF) for being part of the fraudulent scheme linked to Daniel Vorcaro’s bank.
The measure was taken unanimously at a meeting attended by former first lady Michelle Bolsonaro and federal deputy Bia Kicis (PL). Both make up the likely articulation of the PL for the Senate, in a majority composition headed by vice-governor Celina Leão, tipped to run for Palácio do Buriti.
In the Legislative Chamber, the request was signed by district deputies Thiago Manzoni, Joaquim Roriz and Roosevelt Vilela, from PL, in addition to Rogério Morro da Cruz, from PRD. The parliamentarians’ objective now is to obtain the statutory number of signatures for the installation of the CPI.
