Agnelo's informant starred in Roriz's campaign.
Michael Vieira da Silva, a witness who accuses the governor of the Federal District, has already been accused of being bribed by political opponents.
247 – The crisis that brought down the Minister of Sports, Orlando Silva, should be stemmed, without contagion for the government of the Federal District. This is because the “witness” Michael Vieira da Silva, who, over the weekend, accused Governor Agnelo Queiroz, Orlando Silva's predecessor in Sports, has a questionable criminal record. He is under investigation for threats, receiving stolen goods, and fraud.
The accusation that he handed over funds embezzled from NGOs to the governor was used in the campaign of Weslian Roriz, Agnelo's opponent in the election. It was also discovered that Silva had allegedly received a bribe offer to try to incriminate then-candidate Agnelo.
