The lawyer Frederick Wassef, who has served for President Jair Bolsonaro (without a party) and one of his sons, Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (Republicans-RJ), was denounced today by the Lava Jato working group in Rio de Janeiro on charges of money laundering and embezzlement.
The complaint is the result of the “Schema S” operation, which investigates suspicions of diversions of entities of the Río S.
Besides Wassef, four other people were denounced by the Federal Prosecutor’s Office: Orlando Diniz, former president of Fecomércio-RJ; the businessman Marcelo Cazzo; and the attorneys Luiza Nagib Eluf and Marcia Carina Castelo Branco Zampiron.
THE Twitter He searched for Wassef, but could not reach him. The rest of the defendants have not yet been located in the report.
The group is accused of crimes committed by the diversion of R $ 4.6 million from the Rio de Janeiro sections of Sesc, Senac and Fecomércio. The lawyers allege that the deviations occurred from December 2016 to May 2017 under the pretext of providing legal services to Fecomércio-RJ.
However, the investigations indicated that the contractual scope was false, because either the services were not provided or were provided in the exclusive interest of Orlando Diniz for, for example, persecution of personal opponents, according to the MPF.
The new events are in addition to those that had already been denounced in a previous complaint of Operation “Scheme S”. “The already denounced members of the criminal organization used false contracts with the offices of the accused or third parties designated by them, in which the legal services indicated in the contracts were not provided, but paid high fees,” reported the MPF.
According to prosecutors, the amounts diverted were public. “The resources of Sescs and Senacs have public origin, since the IRS transfers payroll contributions from commercial companies so that they invest in the training and well-being of merchants,” describes the statement from the Public Ministry.
