Minister Renan’s wife, counselor continues in companies – 05/04/2023 – Panel

Wife of the Minister of Transport, Renan Filho, Alagoas Court of Auditors counselor Renata Calheiros is a managing partner of at least three companies, although the legislation prohibits the practice for those who hold public office.

The former first lady of Alagoas appears in the corporate structure as administrator of Rádio Correio de Alagoas S/S LTDA, Costa Dourada Investimentos LTDA and Agropecuária Angelim LTDA.

According to Law 8.112/1990, however, those who hold public office are prohibited from being a managing partner of companies. Item X of article 117 prohibits the “management or administration of a private company, personified or not personified”.

Renata Calheiros, who is also the daughter-in-law of Senator Renan Calheiros (MDB-AL), took office on December 16, 2022 and should have been released from the administration of private activities since then.

When contacted, the counselor’s press office did not respond to the Panel’s requests on the reasons why she continues as a managing partner of the companies, nor if she intends to withdraw.

The TCE-AL declared that those responsible for checking the requirements are the state government, which makes the nomination, and the Legislative Assembly, which hears and approves the nominee. The court did not answer whether the counselor will suffer any kind of sanction.

The press office of the Legislative Assembly of Alagoas said “it has no way of answering” the questions, even before they were sent.

The advisory of Governor Paulo Dantas (MDB), who made the appointment last year, did not return an answer whether the check was made and, if so, why the appointment was made anyway.
