The Public Ministry of Paraná (MP-PR) is executing a search and seizure order in the office of congressman Ricardo Barros (PP), in Maringá, in the north of Paraná, this Wednesday morning (16).
Investigations involve fraud in electricity contracting in 2019. In addition to Barros’s office, there is a search warrant in São Paulo against Delmo Sérgio Vilhena.
In a note, Ricardo Barros said that he is calm and in full collaboration with the investigations. The parliamentarian reaffirmed his impeccable conduct, and reported that he requested access to the file in order to provide further clarification to society and initiate his defense.
“Ricardo Barros, rapporteur for the abuse of authority law, repudiates the political activism of the judiciary,” says an extract from the note.
