RIO – In the complaint filed against Marcelo Crivella, detained this Tuesday, the Public Ministry indicates that the mayor is the “vertex” of the criminal organization that became known as the “Bribery headquarters.” According to prosecutors, Crivella “orchestrated under his personal leadership” the scheme that aimed to “incite businessmen to participate in the most varied corruption schemes, always with an eye toward collecting undue advantages through counterpart promises. ”.

The investigators narrate throughout the complaint that Crivella “plays the role of a true organizer and creator of the entire criminal plan, promoting cooperation in crime and directing the activities of the other agents.” His participation in the alleged scheme was essential, according to the Public Ministry, for his position as mayor. This is because his office would be in a position to carry out and command the necessary acts so that the criminal organization can act within the Rio mayor’s office. Prosecutors also say that the criminal plan is “meticulously elaborated.”
“The top of the criminal organization is occupied by Marcelo Crivella, who, as mayor of Rio de Janeiro, concentrates in his hands the legal attributions that are indispensable for the execution of the criminal plan, meticulously elaborated by the criminal organization. In other words, his functional status as mayor gives him, and no one else, the ability to execute and determine the execution of the official acts necessary for the materialization of the negotiating excuses, ”says an extract from the complaint obtained by GLOBO.
