Brasilia 247 - The Federal Police are currently conducting searches in the office of federal deputy Ezequiel Fonseca (PP-MT).
State Representative José Domingos Fraga (PSD) and former state representative and current federal representative Ezequiel Fonseca (PP) were caught on video receiving bundles of money in the office of Silvio Araújo, former advisor to former governor Silval Barbosa (PMDB).
In the video, Ezequiel even suggests that he and his colleague carry the money "in their socks," but in the end, they put the bundles inside a cardboard box. The video was released by the website O Independente, which belongs to the family of the PMDB politician.
The recording is part of Silval's plea bargain with the Attorney General's Office (PGR), approved by Minister Luiz Fux of the Supreme Federal Court (STF). Silval allegedly handed over at least 10 videos of congressmen receiving the money.
