The Joint Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry (CPMI) of the National Social Security Institute (INSS) hears this Tuesday (28) businessman Domingos Sávio de Castro and pilot Henrique Traugott Binder Galvão. The rapporteur, deputy Alfredo Gaspar (União-AL), alleges that the businessman had financial relationships with associative entities that transferred amounts to Antônio Carlos Camilo Antunes, also known as “Careca do INSS”.
According to investigations into the frauds, Castro would be appointed as attorney for the Brazilian Association of Retirees and Pensioners of the Nation (Abapen) and would have received the amount of R$540.5 thousand from the Brazilian Association of Contributors of the General Social Security Regime (Abrasprev).
Pilot Henrique Traugott Binder Galvão will be heard by the Commission, as he was one of the pilots who made the most flights on aircraft linked to Silas da Costa Vaz, linked to the National Confederation of Family Farmers and Rural Family Entrepreneurs (Conafer). For Alfredo Gaspar, the pilot “can offer relevant information about possible connections with fraudulent practices that affected millions of retirees and pensioners”.
This Monday (27), Alexandre Guimarães, former director of the INSS, was heard by CPMI deputies and senators. The call meets requests presented by senator Izalci Lucas (PL-DF) and deputies Rogério Correia (PT-MG), Adriana Ventura (Novo-SP), Duarte Jr. (PSB-MA) and Sidney Leite (PSD-AM).
Izalci argues that the call is an unavoidable and urgent measure to clarify the R$6.3 billion hole in the Social Security coffers, since Alexandre Guimarães occupied the strategic Directorate of Governance, Planning and Innovation at the INSS, between 2021 and 2023.
According to the senator, investigations conducted by the Federal Police within the scope of Operation Without Discount expose a direct and suspicious financial link between the former director and the epicenter of the criminal organization.
