The Federal Police (PF) served seven search and seizure warrants in an operation against the embezzlement of health funds in the municipality of Bananal, in Vale do Paraíba. The actions were carried out today (7th) in five municipalities in São Paulo – Bananal, Lorena, Piquete, Roseira and Taubaté – and in Barra Mansa, in Rio de Janeiro.
According to the PF, the investigations began 1 year and 6 months ago after a criminal report about irregularities in the hiring of a social organization to manage health services in Bananal.
The investigation indicated that the hiring was directed and that it subcontracted, with about 60% of the contract value, a company without the necessary qualifications to provide medical and outpatient services. There were also signs of payment for services that were not provided.
