The request of the then Director General of the Federal Police, Maurício Valeixo, to replace the superintendent of the Federal Police in Pernambuco was linked to politics.
According to Valeixo, in a statement to the PF on Monday (11), the then Minister of Justice Sérgio Moro mentioned the fact that the superintendent, federal delegate Carla Patrícia Cintra Barros da Cunha, had held a position of trust in the Pernambuco government . He took office in 2017, during the administration of Governor Paulo Câmara (PSB-PE). The PSB is part of the base of opposition to President Jair Bolsonaro in the National Congress.
It was not clear, in Valeixo’s testimony, whether this point in Carla’s resume was raised by Moro himself or if the question came from the Planalto Palace and was only transmitted by the then minister to the then director general. At this point, the testimony is full of gaps, since it also does not explain what action Valeixo and Moro took in relation to the subject. Nor was it detailed what the political implication was that Carla had held a position in the Pernambuco government and why that would be a problem. Not even the Pernambuco government party is mentioned in the statement.
According to Valeixo, at a time when the then Minister of Justice sought him out, “with less force” than the question from the Rio de Janeiro Superintendency, an issue under pressure since mid-2019, to find out “the possibility of exchange.” of the superintendent of Pernambuco. “The delegate Carla Patrícia took office in December 2019, chosen by Valeixo.
“The matter of the change of the current superintendent of Pernambuco was discussed with the then minister Sérgio Moro and the questions referred to the fact that the then head of SR / PE [Superintendência da PF em Pernambuco] she had held a position in the Secretary of State equivalent to that of the Secretariat of Public Security. “In 2017, Carla was appointed co-manager of the Secretariat of Social Defense of the Pernambuco government.
Valeixo said that the delegate’s election had been “technical,” and that the delegate had held “several strategic positions in that superintendency.” The former director general also said that “the time that Carla Patrícia was the regional delegate to combat organized crime in SR-PE was the period when there were more special operations in that state.”
The Pernambuco case, as Valeixo said, was “less forceful” than the situation in Rio de Janeiro. In the capital of Rio de Janeiro, the problems began in June 2019 and not in August, as previously believed, and continued until April. Although he explained the political issue surrounding Carla’s name, at the same time Valeixo declared, in apparent contradiction, that “in none of the cases [Rio e Pernambuco] no reason was presented to justify the replacement, as there were no complaints about the conduct of these superintendencies. “
