Councilors organized themselves to question the vice-mayor by members of the city hall itself.
The request to receive Araújo, headed by councilor Luna Zarattini (PT), should be taken to the plenary session this Wednesday (25), which should leave
“The role of the Chamber is to supervise the Executive. If there is a member of the city hall’s own management reporting alleged deviations and irregularities, this is very serious and cannot be ignored by councilors”, says Luna.
To be taken to the plenary, the councilor obtained 14 signatures — all from councilors who oppose the mayor.
Araújo’s summons is due to the fact that, on the 9th, as the Panel showed, he said he was the target of a campaign to slander him due to his work investigating possible illegalities in the city hall and dismissing civil servants.
Araújo reported, in the police reports, that people — without mentioning how many and which ones — were hired to tap his cell phone and open a checking account in his name in Uruguay.
Such an account would receive cash deposits related to a bus company.
The registration of the bulletins caused uneasiness with Nunes’ team. The mayor says he only became aware of the events when he read the Panel.
Nunes’ interlocutors suggested to Araújo that he should have communicated to the mayor, under the argument that any suspicion against someone in the government should also be investigated internally.
The way Araújo described the case in the bulletins would be placing the entire city hall under suspicion.
