The pension that Madalena Gordiano received, kept in a condition similar to slavery for 38 years in Minas Gerais, financed a medical course and the life of the Milagres Rigueira family for 17 years, according to information provided by the tax auditors of the case.
Madalena has an income of R $ 8,400 from a marriage to a former World War II combatant, but she never had control of the money, which was administered by Maria das Graças Milagres Rigueira and her son, Dalton César Milagres Rigueira, as the investigations indicate .
Brian Epstein, attorney for the Milagres Rigueira family, said in a statement that he has not yet had access to the case file. The defender also said that the relatives “are shocked by the event and prefer to remain silent.”
Married in 2001 to Marino Lopes da Costa, uncle of Valdirene Lopes da Costa, Dalton’s wife, Madalena has received two pensions since 2003, when her husband passed away at the age of 80.
The marriage was the subject of a complaint in 2008, but the process was closed in 2015 for lack of evidence, despite “strong evidence of concealment of the fact.”
Already aware of the poor health of Valdirene’s uncle due to his age, Maria das Graças would have organized Madalena’s wedding so that the pension money could pay for the university of her daughter Vanessa Maria Milagres Rigueira, who graduated in 2007 from the Faculty of Medicine of Petrópolis. In janeiro river.
When Vanessa practically graduated, Dalton began managing Madalena’s money and moved when she received a proposal to teach at a university in Patos de Minas (MG) in December 2006.
In the testimony given before the MPT (Public Ministry of Labor) obtained by Twitter, Dalton declared that he had income of R $ 10 thousand as a university professor and another R $ 1.3 thousand from the rental of two properties. He also made two payroll loans in the name of Madalena, with a remaining debt of R $ 18,500 in Banco do Brasil, according to the report.
According to the MPT, the family income, without Madalena’s pension, is incompatible for those who own a financed four-bedroom property in the most exclusive area of Patos, with fees of R $ 1.7 thousand, and pay the university two. daughters, one of them a medical student in Uberaba, with a monthly fee of R $ 6.8 thousand.
Dalton defended himself against the charges, saying that Sister Vanessa helps pay tuition for Raíssa, who, according to her classmates, used to be seen in the best restaurants in town and liked to show the standard of living on social media. .
In São Miguel do Anta, the Milagres family is seen as one of the most traditional, a status that causes discomfort in many people when asked about Madalena’s past and how her bosses exploited it. One of the symbols of the family tradition is Ildeu Pereira Milagres Fialho, an influential politician who was mayor of the city in the 1970s.
Even with incomes over R $ 11 thousand, Dalton’s family resorted to emergency aid and had three requests accepted by the federal government. Valdirene and her daughters Bianca and Raíssa received five installments of R $ 600 and one of R $ 300, totaling R $ 3,300 for each one.
The benefit granted is contrary to the principles of the social program, which does not provide for the release of those with a family income of more than three times the minimum wage (R $ 3,135 thousand).
