The president of Comurg has his assets frozen.

MP-GO - In response to a request made in an administrative misconduct lawsuit filed by prosecutor Fernando Krebs, Judge Márcio de Castro Molinari of the 1st Civil Court of Goiânia ordered the freezing of assets belonging to the CEO of Comurg, Ormando José Pires Júnior, and the head of the agency's Personnel Department, Waterson Fidéles Corrêa. The frozen assets amount to approximately R$ 8 million, including accounts, vehicles, and real estate, and aim to ensure full reimbursement for any damages caused to public funds.

In the lawsuit, filed in August of last year, the prosecutor argued that both authorized the continued employment of 129 ghost employees assigned to the Temporary Staff Unit. According to the report, upon learning of the irregularity, Krebs requested information from the head of the Personnel Department, who stated that, in the cases of the employees assigned to the unit, they were either returning from temporary assignment or were newly hired and had not yet had their work locations defined.

Krebs maintained, however, that several of these appointees had been there since January 2013. The prosecutor visited Comurg on August 8, 2014, for an on-site inspection, finding that none of the 129 appointees were at their workplace. A few days later, an inspection by the Public Prosecutor's Office confirmed the irregularity. See details of the action in the "Learn More" section.
