Cairo de Freitas will testify tomorrow before the Delta Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry.
Deputies vote on request to lift the confidentiality of Mayor Paulo Garcia and former Mayor Iris Rezende; commission also evaluates the summons of Cachoeira and Bordoni and requests copies of investigations into crimes with characteristics of hired killings.
247_ The Delta CPI (Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry) at the Legislative Assembly of Goiás will hear testimony tomorrow at 9:00 AM from the former chief of staff of Mayor Paulo Garcia (PT). Cairo left his post after wiretaps from Operation Monte Carlo revealed a meeting between him, three opposition councilors, and Carlinhos Cachoeira himself. The members of the CPI want to know the level of relationship between the racketeer and the Goiânia City Hall, which, until the scandal broke, maintained several contracts with the Delta construction company. Currently, these contracts are suspended.
The PT and PMDB parties, allies in Goiânia, fear that the deputies will extract details from Cairo that could compromise Mayor Garcia, leading to his summons to testify before the CPI (Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry). A request submitted to the commission, which is on the agenda for tomorrow's vote, asks for the lifting of tax and banking secrecy for Paulo Garcia, former mayor Iris Rezende, and mayors from the opposition to the Marconi Perillo government who maintained contracts with Delta.
The meeting between Cairo and Cachoeira was intended to negotiate a truce in the frequent complaints made by city councilors regarding the construction of Mutirama Park in Goiânia, a project costing over R$ 80 million (approximately R$ 50 million from the Ministry of Tourism) carried out by Warre Engenharia.
The sequence of wiretaps suggests that Cachoeira had a 30% stake in the Mutirama project. Warre Engenharia denies this. In May, a Federal Court decision prohibited the transfer of federal funds for the park's construction. The part that was the responsibility of the city government—the rides and decorations—was partially inaugurated last week. The physical structure, a tunnel on Avenida Anhanguera and a large platform over Marginal Botafogo, remains stalled.
In addition to Cairo, the CPI will hear testimony from Civil Police delegates Gilberto Ferro and Hylo Marques. Requests will be voted on to summon the following individuals: the State Attorney of Goiás, Marcelo Siqueira; the owner of the company Mestra Administração e Participação, Écio Antônio Ribeiro; Civil Police delegates Leandro Pinheiro Fonseca Pereira, Rosivaldo Linhares Rosa, and André Soares Veloso; the former president of the Goiás State Penitentiary System Agency (Agesp), Edilson de Brito; businessman Carlos Augusto Ramos, also known as Carlos Cachoeira; former member of the corporate board of Mestra Administração e Participação, Sejana Martins; and journalist Luiz Carlos Bordoni.
The deputies will decide whether or not the CPI (Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry) should invite the following individuals to testify: Governor Marconi Perillo (PSDB); Federal Deputy Armando Vergílio (PSD); Public Prosecutors Ivana Farina and Laura Maria Ferreira Bueno; Public Prosecutors Saulo de Castro, Eduardo Abdon Moura, Abrão Amisy Neto, and Humberto Machado de Oliveira; and the Mayor of Águas Lindas de Goiás, Geraldo Messias.
Other requests to be voted on ask for copies of the investigation procedures for the following homicides, all of which occurred around the same time and had the characteristics of contract killings: the murders of the former mayor of the city of Goiás, Boadyr Veloso, the lawyer Ilmar Gomes Marçal, and the law student Túlio Jayme.
