Judge Roseli Nalin, of the 15th Court of Public Finance, of the Court of Justice of Rio de Janeiro (TJRJ), determined the sharing with the Regional Electoral Attorney in the State of Rio de Janeiro of all documents that make up the Public Civil Action (ACP). ) which investigates hiring at the State Center for Statistics, Research and Training of Public Servants of Rio de Janeiro (Ceperj).
“I deny the sharing of all evidentiary documents that are part of this Public Civil Action with the Regional Electoral Attorney in the State of Rio de Janeiro”, indicated the order.
The magistrate’s decision responded to a request from the Public Ministry to investigate possible electoral responsibility resulting from hiring and whether candidates who contested elections in the state benefited from Ceperj resources.
Among the data that must be shared are the identification of 210 payments destined to bank branches located outside the state of Rio de Janeiro, the verification of 941 situations of irregular accumulation of public bonds and the presence in the Ceperj spreadsheet of several candidates for the position of councilor who contested the 2020 election for municipalities in the state of Rio, with 20 elected to exercise the parliamentary mandate.
“Some appearing more than once as recipients of the resources, as well as candidates who competed in the 2018 election for the position of state deputy, the majority reaching the alternate”, he added in the decision.
Roseli Nalin still wants explanations about the answer sent by Ceperj to the State Audit Court (TCE) stating that the contracts were not published in the Official Gazette.
Suspension
Earlier this month, the Public Ministry of the State of Rio de Janeiro (MPRJ) had obtained with the Judgment of the 15th Public Finance Court the suspension of hiring and payments of personnel by the state and Ceperj without due disclosure. In the same decision, it also determined that Banco Bradesco would stop complying with bank payment orders issued by the foundation.
The decision was the result of a public civil action filed by the 6th Public Prosecutor’s Office for Collective Protection of Citizenship Defense of the Public Ministry (MP) with the aim of providing transparency to Ceperj’s expenses.
In the opinion of the MP, as the executor of projects for other organs of the State Administration, Ceperj became a supplier of a huge volume of labor contracted for a determined period to various organs of the state, through direct contracting by Autonomous Payment Receipt (RPA). ).
“Withdrawals at the cash register, which, in aggregate, represents the withdrawal of almost R$ 226.5 million in cash, implies an immeasurable volume of money from public coffers circulating outside the financial system, whose effective destination will be impossible to verify”, he pointed out at the time, when Ceperj also reinforced that it would be “always available to the control and judicial bodies to comply with the rules of good administrative conduct”.
