The rapporteur of the CPI dos Bingos, senator Garibaldi Alves (PMDB-RN), presented a preliminary report on Wednesday (18/1) stating that a bribe was paid in the renewal of the contract between the multinational Gtech and Caixa Econômica Federal. Garibaldi calls for the indictment of 3 companies and 34 people. The list includes the president of Caixa, Jorge Mattoso, the former under-secretary of Parliamentary Affairs of the Civil House, Waldomiro Diniz, the former private secretary of minister Antonio Palocci, Ademirson Ariosvaldo da Silva, and two former advisors at the City of Riberão Preto — Rogério Buratti and Vladimir Poleto. The information comes from reporter Rosa Costa from the newspaper O Estado de S.Paulo .
According to the report, the renewal of Gtech's contract to operate Caixa's lottery system “strictly speaking, would be legally null in its origin and suffered, over time, frequent violations resulting from lack of bidding”. As it received a collective review request, the text will be voted on by the CPI Estonia Email List next Wednesday (25/1). The rapporteur suggests that those involved be punished based on the penalties provided for the crimes of gang formation, passive corruption, crimes against the bidding procedure and administrative improbity. Against Poleto, he also points to the crimes of ideological falsehood and influence peddling. He also asks that Buratti be punished for money laundering and a crime against the tax system.
In addition to Mattoso, two former presidents of Caixa are on the list of indictment requests: Emílio Carazzai and Sérgio Cutolo, both for malfeasance, crime against the bidding process and administrative improbity. The two presided over the CEF during the Fernando Henrique Cardoso government. Garibaldi also asks that the companies MM Consultoria and S. Santos Assessoria, belonging to lawyer Walter Santos Neto, suspected of mediating the extortion, be punished. According to the rapporteur, the lawyer received R$5 million from Gtech in six months for a single action in the Superior Court of Justice. Walter himself or his employees withdrew R$2.397 million in cash.
