PT leaders question Bolsonaro's spending on motorcycles with the TCU (Federal Court of Accounts).
Members of Parliament are asking Bolsonaro to fully reimburse the amount of public money used to finance motorcycle rallies, which they claim were "personal in nature, without any public interest."
By Guilherme Paladino, from 247 - The leaders of the PT (Workers' Party) caucus in the Chamber of Deputies, Reginaldo Lopes (current leader) and Zeca Dirceu (newly elected leader), filed a complaint with the Federal Court of Accounts (TCU) against Jair Bolsonaro (PL) for exorbitant expenses on motorcycles charged to the presidential corporate credit card. during his term.
In the document, the parliamentarians request that Bolsonaro fully reimburse the amount of public money used to finance the motorcycle rallies – which cost approximately R$ 100 per event, according to the Estadão newspaper – since these demonstrations were "indisputably personal in nature, without any public interest."
Fuel used in Bolsonaro's motorcycle rallies was paid for with taxpayer money.
The petition also alleges that, by using the corporate credit card to promote such events of personal interest, the former president violated the principles of legality, impartiality, and morality, which all public administrators must respect, according to the Federal Constitution.
"From this perspective, this complaint aims to prompt the Federal Court of Accounts to adopt the administrative measures it deems pertinent to investigate the facts reported herein, particularly regarding the irregularities in the expenses incurred with the motorcycle rides nicknamed 'motociatas' that occurred throughout the presidential term and, ultimately, if necessary, to promote the appropriate accountability," the representation concludes.
