Gilmar sends data to the Supreme Court regarding a company that worked on Dilma's campaign.

Michèlle Canes, reporter for Agência Brasil - The president of the Superior Electoral Court (TSE), Minister Gilmar Mendes, sent copies of documents to the Supreme Federal Court (STF) containing information about one of the companies that provided services to the electoral campaign of the ousted president Dilma Rousseff.

Mendes, who is the rapporteur for the campaign finance report at the TSE (Superior Electoral Court), says he received information from the Municipal Finance Department of Uberlândia (MG) about one of the companies and that he forwarded to the department, "for investigation of possible wrongdoing," a copy of a document in which the PSDB (Brazilian Social Democracy Party) "points out evidence of irregularities related to the company DCO Informática Comércio e Serviços Ltda.", which appears in the list of expenses declared in Dilma's 2014 campaign finance report. The company was hired to send messages to cell phones during the election campaign.

The minister's statement also says that the secretariat informed the TSE (Superior Electoral Court) that the company DCO changed its address without notifying the Uberlândia city hall, has not had an operating license since 2012, nor any identification on the facade of its headquarters. According to the information, a partner of DCO said that the company has a server and a notebook and three employees who are not registered according to the Consolidation of Labor Laws (CLT).

Based on the information provided, Gilmar Mendes decided to send a copy of the documentation to the Supreme Federal Court (STF), specifically to Justice Edson Fachin, the rapporteur for a case currently before the court.

In May, in another ruling, Minister Gilmar Mendes cited a letter sent by the Minas Gerais State Finance Secretariat with information about this company and ordered the data to be sent to the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office and the Federal Police Department.

In December 2014, Dilma's campaign accounts were unanimously approved with reservations by the TSE (Superior Electoral Court). In February of this year, Mendes granted a request from the PSDB (Brazilian Social Democracy Party) and ordered six investigative bodies to look into alleged irregularities in payments to seven companies that provided services to the 2014 election campaign. The Federal Revenue Service, the Federal Police, and the Public Prosecutor's Office were to investigate whether the companies received amounts disproportionate to their operational capacity to provide services to the campaign.
