Damares asks PGR to investigate Minister of Communications – 03/02/2023 – Panel

Senator Damares Alves (Republicanos-DF) filed a complaint with the PGR (Attorney General of the Republic) against the Minister of Communications, Juscelino Filho (União-MA) for having used a FAB (Brazilian Air Force) plane to participate in an auction of horses.

In the piece addressed to the Attorney General of the Republic, Augusto Aras, Damares argues that the minister’s posture represents an affront to the principle of morality and a violation of the duties of honesty, impartiality and legality. In addition, he requests the investigation for administrative impropriety, embezzlement and prevarication.

According to the newspaper O Estado de S. Paulo, Juscelino Filho traveled on a FAB plane to São Paulo on January 26. After fulfilling official agendas, the minister traveled to Boituva, 122 kilometers from the capital, to participate in horse auctions. He received four daily wages from the Union, as if he were traveling on business.

“As we can see in the aforementioned facts, the preference and personal interest of the then Minister of Communications in horses is evident and there is nothing irregular about it. leverage its business in the market for buying and selling horses”, says Damares in the representation.

This Thursday (2nd), the minister said in a note that he had returned the per diem resources improperly received from the trip to São Paulo.

“The greatest proof that there is no illegality on the part of the minister is the fact that on 01/19/23, for example, he returned per diems related to the flight to Maranhão. That is, an event that occurred more than a month before the press to deal with a subject of this nature”, he explained.
