Attention publisher: This article was originally published on 20/10/2022, with the title “Government Buy the basic baskets of the company” Orange “, says TCU”, and updated on 11/03/2025.
The Federal Court of Audit (TCU) investigates the fraud in two offers of the Federal Government to buy up to 2.2 million basic baskets. Court report, obtained by EstadãoHe underlines “strong tests” that one of the winning companies is in the name of “orange”. Commercial sessions have been organized by the Ministry of Citizenship in the last two years.
The folder was willing to spend $ 290.2 million to buy foods, such as rice, beans, oil, noodles, flour, powder milk, sugar and corn flour, to serve poor families throughout the country.
According to the audit of the TCU, the popular is on behalf of an “orange”, a beneficiary of emergency aid, and is part of a group of companies controlled by Carlos Murilo Pessoa Gonçalves Moreira and Paulo Sergio Pessoa Moreira. The report states that the two mining entrepreneurs used “relatives and people interposed for the probable purpose of patrimonial concealment”.
In a report delivered to the minister based in TCU, Weder de Oliveira, the secretariat of the acquisitions of external logistics (Selog) asked the Ministry of Citizenship to underline the control mechanisms adopted by the wallet to “ensure that the delivery of basic baskets is carried out effectively, above all due to this electoral year”. The minister agreed with the request in an order of September 21.
The distribution of basic baskets by the Federal Government is part of an action by the Ministry against food and nutritional insecurity. The amount authorized by the purchase of food this year is $ 116 Mihões. Of the total, R $ 79 million are for the popular.
The TCU technicians identified that in February of this year, another company of the group presumably led by the Moreira brothers delivered food to the Ministry of Citizenship, instead of the popular. The audit represented 40,675 basic baskets for an amount of $ 4.9 million, acquired in the trading session last year.
The goods sold to the Ministry of Citizenship by the popular Ltda Food baskets. They were delivered by the Eireli Super Basic Carrier food basket. According to TCU, this carrier is prevented from offering and hiring with the federal public administration due to a sanction applied by the command of the 4th military region, after the company has carried out a contract. The negotiation session of the Ministry of Citizenship was made in February 2021, two months after the basic basket was forbidden to offer and take the union with the Union. A second trading session was made in May of this year already in the management of Ronaldo Bento.
“The tests obtained underline that the participation of Ltda -based popular food basketballs. In case it is possible to evade the sanction applied to the Super Basic Food Basic Eireli company,” says the report. “The contract signed by the first (popular) company would, in fact, be, at least partially, carried out by the second (super basketball), which did not even participate in the event, because it could not, due to the sanction suffered. This discovery implies possible fraud for the offer.”
The offers of the Ministry of Citizenship were intended to create price registration reports. In this mode, companies agree to sell a predetermined amount of products for a previously adequate amount. The organs can buy the number of products they want and are not required to buy the entire list of offers. The minutes recorded by the ministry of last year were closed. This year is open.
Confiscation
Part of the irregularities underlined by the auditors of the Court originated in a seizure of the financial secretariat of Paraíba. On February 21, the inspectors of the folders intercepted a trailer with basic baskets in Campina Grande, an interior of the state. The load was accompanied by an invoice for an amount of R $ 233,000, issued by the Popular and had Hudson Rafael Rocha, beneficiary of emergency aid, as a recipient.
The finance secretariat identified that the document found in the trailer was connected to a group of other invoices for an amount of $ 11 million, issued between 9 and 18 February of this year. Everyone had been emitted by the popular and destined for Hudson Rocha.
The TCU report describes that the inspectors of the Paraíba secretariat were at the address in which the baskets would be delivered to Campina Grande and “were prevented from entering”. Two days after the seizure of February 23, the state folder received a call from a servant of the Ministry of Citizenship, who identified himself as coordinator of the acquisition and food distribution. The employee reported that the popular had won the offer and would have been responsible for the distribution of basic food baskets.
According to the court document, at the moment, the server was informed that the invoices for the remittance of goods and goods could not have an individual as a recipient, as in the case of Hudson Rocha, only a public agency or an entity. The standard comes from the National Council of Finance Policy (Confaz), an organ linked to the Ministry of Economy.
The report also describes that the day of the servant of citizenship for the financial secretariat of Paraíba, the inspectors returned to the Capannone of Campina Grande. Hudson Rocha presented an e -mail with an authorization by Rachel Mello to issue an invoice on his behalf. According to the TCU, the date of the message “is subsequently” to the issue of eleven invoices, by a set of 49 relating to the acquisition of basic baskets of the popular.
“There are no elements that reasonably justify the sending of the e -mail message,” says Selo. “The fact that there has been a doubt from the Ministry of Citizenship with Sefaz/PB, almost immediately after the seizure of the basic baskets, as well as sending an e -mail from this federal agency, which authorizes the issue of the invoice on behalf of a third party, can indicate a possible privileged access of the company to the popular food baskets of Ltda.
On February 25, the inspectors of the Secretariat of the Treasury of Minas Gerais went to the addresses of the Popular and a company in charge of transporting the basic baskets contracts by the Ministry of Citizenship, both in contagiamo, an interior of the State. In the courier, they received “control documents of the delivery of goods” on behalf of the food basket of Eireli Super Basic rather than popular.
“It should be noted that in the electronic auction 6/2022, the company a popular basic base base Ltda., Winner of four of the seven articles, presented a certificate provided by the Ministry of Citizenship, in view of the offers in the previous year, that is, the possible fraud in 2/2021 the electronic ax was reflected in this event.
Wanted, the Ministry of Citizenship has not returned. TO EstadãoThe businessman Paulo Moreira said he met the basic basket. He said he doesn’t have popular society. The report did not find Hudson Rafael Carlos Murilo Pessoa Gonçalves Moreira.
