In addition to the crime of criminal association, provided for in article 288 of the Penal Code, the practice of criminal conduct will be evaluated in article 1, paragraph II of decree law 201/67, which deals with the responsibility of mayors.

The situation was shown on Monday night (31) in a report from RJ2. The group of officials acts to prevent criticism of care in health facilities.

For this reason, they yell, offend and harass reporters who try to interview patients in front of the units.

In pairs, employees paid by the Rio mayor’s office try to intimidate citizens so that they do not speak ill of the municipal government.

Councilors will also submit a complaint to the MPRJ. According to Paulo Pinheiro (PSOL), member of the Chamber’s Health Commission, the city’s attitude of paying public money to professionals to misinform the population, preventing the press from carrying out its work, is “irresponsible.”

“We are not going to admit this as a common case. That is why we are entering a representation in the Public Ministry, requesting the opening of an investigation, to characterize the situation of administrative impropriety carried out by the mayor of the city of Rio de Janeiro Pinheiro said.

The situation should also serve as the basis for requesting an investigation by the City Council itself.

“We are going to propose to the mayor that this citizen Marcos Luciano be summoned, because he needs to justify himself. And more: we are going to propose the installation of a CPI,” said Councilor Teresa Bergher (PSDB).

“The complaint is extremely serious. This is an improper use of the purpose, of public functions – people are paid with public money for doing things that are not the responsibility of the government. Therefore, this is an administrative offense, it is a crime of responsibility “, evaluated the councilman. Tarcísio Motta.

The report showed that:

• by WhatsApp groups, officials are distributed by municipal health units do a kind of duty;
• in pairs, they try interrupt reports with complaints about the public health situation and intimidate citizens so that they do not speak ill of the city council;
• RJ2 had access to the content of the groups and saw that, after being broadcast, they published selfies to say they made it to the units;
• one of the employees appears in several photos with Crivella and has salary of more than R $ 10,000;
• when they get in the way of reports, celebrate in groups;
• a city ​​council does not deny the creation of the groups and says he does it to ‘better inform the population’.

Among the participants of one of the groups, a telephone attracts attention. The number seems to be registered by the mayor himself, Marcelo Crivella. The Jornal Nacional found that the mayor already used this number. The news team called, but no one answered.

In a live interview for Bom Dia Rio on August 20, at the Rocha Faria Hospital, Doña Vânia was collecting a transfer from her mother who has cancer, but she could not finish the conversation with the reporter Nathália Castro because two men started the attacks verbal. and shouts of “Bolsonaro”.

The reporter apologized to Vânia, closed the report, and the assaults by the two men continued to cause confusion.

Days later, at the Rocha Faria Hospital, reporter Ben-Hur Corrêa spoke of the lack of X-ray equipment and the situation of the town hall cashier, when two men prevented the report.

Then one of the men put on his badge and went into the hospital.

Attacks don’t happen by accident. On the contrary: they are organized and by the government.
