Civita's summons will be on the agenda of the Joint Parliamentary Inquiry Commission.
Deputy Silvio Costa (PTB-PE) revealed to 247 that the commission members will discuss next week who will be summoned to provide clarification on the facts uncovered in Operation Monte Carlo; the head of Veja is one of them.
Raphael Coutinho _PE247 – Next Thursday, members of the Cachoeira Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry will meet to discuss the names of potential individuals summoned to testify about the facts uncovered in the Federal Police's Operation Monte Carlo. Among those who may be compelled to provide clarification is the chairman of the board of directors of Editora Abril, publisher of Veja magazine, Roberto Civita. This information was revealed by federal deputy Silvio Costa (PTB-PE), a full member of the CPI.
“We will have some meetings this week and next week. But regarding new summonses (including Civita's), we should discuss that at a meeting scheduled for next Thursday,” the congressman told 247. The PTB member also stated that the members of the commission investigating the case consider it essential to summon as many people as possible who are likely connected to the process.
Investigations by the Federal Police have revealed more than 200 connections between Veja magazine journalist Policarpo Júnior and the illegal gambling operator Carlos Cachoeira. The publication has even treated the Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry (CPMI) as a trial against the media, since it could summon important figures from that sector.
Silvio Costa also revealed that the members of the Joint Parliamentary Inquiry Commission (CPMI) will possibly discuss ending the secrecy of their sessions. According to the congressman, the objective would be to allow public opinion access to everything being discussed. "I think all sessions should be open. This is the chance Congress has to reconnect with Brazilian public opinion," he argued.
The Brasil247 network obtained access to the entire Operation Monte Carlo investigation and exclusively made available, this Tuesday and Wednesday, all the material that is being discussed in the Cachoeira Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry.
