The City of São Paulo and the Public Prosecution Service (MP-SP) signed, on Tuesday (29), an agreement of Civil Non-Persecution (ANPC) for the return of R $ 210 million to the public coffers. The value refers to municipal funds deviations that occurred between 1993 and 1998, during the management of former Mayor Paulo Maluf.
The agreement was signed after about a year of negotiations between the Attorney General’s Office (PGM-SP) and the Public and Social Patrimony Prosecutor’s Office of the Capital. The measure involves four children, a former Nora, a former pretigger’s former genro, an offshore company from Uruguay and a Brazilian bank that acquired Eucatex shares.
Despite the hit, civil actions are still in progress against Paulo Maluf, his wife and companies accused of overpricing and bribery payment.
According to the municipal attorney general, Luciana Sant’Ana Nardi, the agreement represents “a great advance for the public interest, as it is the largest corruption scandal in São Paulo.”
So far, the agreements signed by PGM-SP and MP-SP have resulted in the recovery of about US $ 160 million (R $ 819 million for the current exchange rate) to the public coffers.
The signing of the agreement was attended by Luciana Sant’Ana Nardi, prosecutor Silvio Marques, prosecutors Maurício Morais Tonin, Ana Paula Birrer and Ticiana Nascimento de Souza Salgado, as well as representatives of the Maluf family lawyers.
