Investigations
In both cases, the prosecutor’s investigations “highlighted a series of irregularities, from the conduct of the tender procedures to the alleged delivery of the products”.
The office supplies contract, for example, included items such as 10 boxes of computer disks, 1,000 pencils and 50,000 photocopies.
An inspection by the Prosecutor’s Office revealed that the supplier only had two printers for domestic use (which would have been used to supply 50,000 photocopies) and, of the items contained in the contract, only had pencils, pens and erasers in stock.

By comparison, the Federal Court’s price registration reports, with 1,738 employees and legal proceedings from across the country, for the purchase of paper predicted four thousand reams.
