Tigrão leaves the CPI (Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry), leaves the PSDB (Brazilian Social Democracy Party), and may be investigated.
Deputy Fernando Francischini (PSDB/PR), who promised to be the sheriff of the Cachoeira CPI, will be replaced by the PSDB; at war with the PSDB members in Paraná, he is expected to join the small PEN party; Francischini may even be investigated for having plotted, with Cachoeira's spies, the downfall of the governor of the Federal District.
247 - When the Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry into the Cachoeira case was established, Congressman Fernando Francischini (PSDB/PR) promised to be one of the stars of the show. A media personality, he even threatened to arrest the governor of the Federal District, Agnelo Queiroz. One of his phrases became memorable. In a discussion, he accused the rapporteur Odair Cunha (PT-MG) of being a "tiger" against Marconi Perillo, of the PSDB, and a "pussycat" against Agnelo, of the PT.
As things progressed, Francischini lost influence on the CPI (Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry). And now, the opposition's pitbull will be expelled from the commission by the PSDB itself. The party leadership decided to replace him with alternate member Domingos Sávio (PSDB-MG), who is linked to Senator Aécio Neves (PSDB-MG) from Minas Gerais.
Officially, Francischini is leaving his post due to local political issues in Paraná, his home state. A former ally of Governor Beto Richa, Francischini broke with the PSDB party because of the alliance formed in the Curitiba mayoral race. Beto supports the current mayor, Luciano Ducci, of the PSB party, and nominated Congressman Rubens Bueno, leader of the PPS party, as his running mate. In this arrangement, the PSDB was relegated to a secondary role in the formation of the ticket, which irritated Francischini – the "tiger" congressman, who is also a Federal Police delegate, is expected to transfer to the small National Ecological Party, the PEN.
The PSDB party, however, has another reason to remove Francischini from the CPI (Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry). The congressman, who dreamed of transferring his electoral domicile to Brasília and running for governor of the Federal District in 2014, also had dealings with members of Carlos Cachoeira's criminal organization. Wiretaps from Operation Monte Carlo, with conversations between Dadá and Cachoeira, indicate that Francischini orchestrated a plot that could lead to the impeachment of Agnelo Queiroz, who would be accused of setting up a wiretapping center in the Palácio do Buriti (the seat of the government of the Federal District). Even the Attorney General of the Republic, Roberto Gurgel, would be involved in the conspiracy (read more). here).
