RIO – Documents on the violation of the banking secrecy of eight relatives of Ana Cristina Valle, ex-wife of President Jair Bolsonaro, obtained by GLOBO, show that this core of the investigation of the “crack” in the office of Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (Republicanos-RJ ) there was the custom of withdrawing R $ 500 several times from their respective accounts, close to the payment dates. Of the 9,859 withdrawal transactions made between 2007 and 2018, 4,294 were for the same amount, equivalent to 44% of all transactions made. These withdrawals, all for the same amount, totaled R $ 2.1 million.

In the investigations, the Public Ministry (MP) presents ten family members as one of the groups of the “criminal organization” and indicates that those investigated withdrew, on average, 83% of the salaries received from the Legislative Assembly of Rio (Alerj ). In Resende, in the south of the state of Rio, Ana Cristina’s relatives lead a modest life.

According to the Public Ministry, the relatives of Flávio’s ex-stepmother “almost took away all the wages they received in Alerj to pass the amounts in kind to other members of the criminal organization.”
When analyzing the banking data of the Siqueira family, the Public Ministry found that, of the R $ 4.8 million paid in salary, R $ 4 million were withdrawn in cash.

The value has not changed during the 11-year period determined by the MP. Family members were often in the habit of making the same number of withdrawals, in the same amounts, and on the same days. The R $ 500 withdrawals represent a volume ten times higher than the second most frequent amount, the R $ 100 withdrawal, for example, which is only present in 443 transactions.
On the 31st, the Specialized Action Group in the Fight against Corruption (Gaecc) concluded the investigations in the procedure that investigates the existence of “crack” – appropriation of employee salaries – in the former office of Flávio in Alerj. The files were submitted for “action” by the Rio de Janeiro Attorney General, Eduardo Gussem, and the Deputy Attorney General for Criminal Justice and Human Rights, Ricardo Ribeiro Martins.
On 354 occasions, at least two members of Ana Cristina’s family went to the bank on the same day and made the same number of withdrawals, for the same amount. Of these, in just three times the value of the transaction was not R $ 500.
Bank statements show that retirement operations were more common in the first half of the months, when part of the members received salaries for the functions they occupied. Of the nearly 10,000 withdrawals analyzed, 60% occurred in the first half of the month. With operations in installments of R $ 500, 70% occurred during the first 15 days of the month.
There are occasions when more than half of the investigated group was in the bank to withdraw the same amount, on the same day and with the same frequency. On April 10, 2008, for example, Ana Maria de Siqueira Hudson, Fátima Regina Dias Resende, Francisco Siqueira Guimarães Diniz, Juliana Siqueira Guimarães Vargas, Maria José de Siqueira e Silva and Marina Siqueira Guimarães Diniz did, in the same way, two withdrawals in the amount of R $ 500.
One of the oldest employees of the clan, bodybuilder Andrea Siqueira Vale never gave up the habit of making cash withdrawals, in the same amount and in several operations on the same day. Of the 1,428 withdrawals made between 2007 and 2018, 83.5% (1,193) were worth R $ 500. During the entire period analyzed, Fátima Regina Dias Resende, owner of a restaurant in Resende, carried out 1,326 withdrawal operations. Of these, 89% was R $ 500.
The cross between nominations and exonerations to the offices also suggests that the pattern of withdrawals of R $ 500 ceased after the exoneration of these people.
Ana Cristina’s cousin, the bank employee Juliana Siqueira Guimarães Vargas, employed in the Flávio office between 2003 and 2011, maintained the custom of withdrawing this amount every month, in various operations, only during the period that she was employed in the office of the then deputy. state. Of the 355 withdrawals she made of R $ 500, 94% (336) were made during the period in which she was employed. After being exonerated, there were only 19 withdrawals for that amount. Juliana took two years to withdraw that amount again.
A similar situation was registered in the accounts of the housewife Marina Siqueira Guimarães Diniz, based in the office of the Legislative Assembly between 2003 and 2013. Of the 191 withdrawals she made, 189 were made during the time she was on the staff of the commission in Alerj, in the amount of R $ 500. After the withdrawal, only two withdrawals for this amount were registered in the account, in 2015 and 2016.
In other cases, such as that of Fátima Regina Dias Resende and Ana Maria Siqueira Hudson, the bank accounts are practically inactive after being dismissed.
Wanted, attorney Magno Cardoso, who maintains that the Siqueira family, said he would not comment.
