This Friday (15), the mayor, Hugo Motta, announced that Deputy Ricardo Ayres will be the CPMI rapporteur of the INSS. In the Senate, the investigation will be led by Omar Aziz of the PSD. The commission will be installed next week.
Ayres is a deputy for the Tocantins Republicans, the same party as Motta. He participated in the overthrow of the Financial Operations Tax Decree (IOF) and supported the Environmental Licensing Bill.
“I announce that the CPMI rapporteur of the INSS will be Deputy Ricardo Ayres (Republicans-TO). I wish him, President Omar Aziz (PSD-AM) and all members an excellent work on this relevant agenda for the country,” Motta said in a publication on social networks.
The deputy, who is 44 and is a lawyer, is part of the congress linked to Jair Bolsonaro, such as those of public security, ruralist and evangelical.
The investigation points out that the damage caused by the scheme can reach R $ 6.3 billion between 2019 and 2024, according to data from the Federal Police (PF) and the Comptroller General of the Union (CGU).
These bodies identified that various associations and entities applied undue monthly charges – so -called associative discounts – directly in the benefits of INSS retirees and pensioners, without authorization of the holders.
The findings also revealed that many of these entities did not have enough structure to offer the services they claimed to provide to the beneficiaries, as well as using counterfeit registrations to justify discounts.
Given these irregularities, a Mixed Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry (CPMI) was established to investigate the performance of the PF and CGU in the operation that unveiled the scheme of deviation of social security resources.
