Proposal Demanded for Regulation on Commission's Agenda
Brasília Gears Up for Parliamentary Probe into INSS Fraud
Get ready for some serious snooping in Brasília! The Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry (CPMI), tasked with investigating fraud at the National Institute of Social Security (INSS), is about to kick off. The investigative proceedings are set to commence this week, with the formal initiation taking place during a joint Congress session on Tuesday, June 17, 2025. Senate President Davi Alcolumbre will lead the charge, marking the start of the CPMI process.
Senator Omar Aziz is rumored to take the reins as the chair of the commission. Known for his tenacious investigative spirit, Aziz served as president for the COVID CPI that ran from April 2021 to November 2021, leading to no less than 80 indictment requests, including former President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) and his political cronies.
The Lower House is eyeing the position of rapporteur—a coveted post that will be contested fiercely by the opposition. House Speaker Hugo Motta will have the final word on the matter. Given the opposition's appetite for the spotlight, it's no surprise they're eager to seize the driver's seat of CPMI's proceedings.
However, don't count the governing base out — they're entering this investigation with fervor and determination. Randolfe Rodrigues, leader of the government in Congress, declared that they're "all in" for the CPMI, accusing that the fraud at INSS occurred due to the previous administration's endorsement of shell companies that breached the INSS.
But rubberneckers beware! This fraud, which led to a devastating $6.3 billion loss, is an explosive matter that could send shockwaves through the halls of the National Congress. With the government and opposition wrestling for control and accountability, expect heated debates and fireworks in the days to come. Make sure to pop some corn and grab a front-row seat to this political drama unfolding in Brasília!
