RÍO Y BRASÍLIA – Bank statements revealed in the course of the investigation of the “rachadinha” show that the hairdresser Márcio Gerbatim withdrew, on a monthly basis, all the salary he received as an advisor to councilor Carlos Bolsonaro (Republicans-RJ) in the Rio Chamber between April 2008 and April 2010. He is the ex-partner of Márcia Aguiar, current wife of Fabrício Queiroz.

The investigation carried out by the Public Ministry of Rio de Janeiro (MP-RJ) investigates a scheme of embezzlement of funds in the former office of Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (Republicans-RJ) in the Legislative Assembly of Rio (Alerj). By court order, the banking secrets of Flávio and former advisers were broken, as was Gerbatim, who was an employee of the then state deputy between 2010 and 2011, after working in his brother’s office.
The account in the Banco do Brasil that appears in the investigation was used by the hairdresser to collect the salary as an employee of Alerj, but, as the period of breach of confidentiality goes from 2007 to 2018, the statements also show his bank turnover when it was advisor to Carlos. at the Rio City Council. The councilor is investigated in another MP-RJ procedure, on suspicion of “crack” and of having appointed ghost employees.
Between May 2008 and May 2010, when it received the last payment, Gerbatim obtained R $ 89,143.64 from the City Council. In the same period, the total amount of credits in her account was R $ 93,422.91. Cash withdrawals totaled R $ 90,028.96. Last year, the newspaper “O Estado de S. Paulo” proved that it never had an identification plate at the City Hall.

Gerbatim always received his salary before the 5th of each month and then made withdrawals. On May 1, 2008, she received a net remuneration of R $ 3,014.59. The next day, she made two withdrawals: one for R $ 400 and the other for R $ 500. On the 3rd, another withdrawal, this is R $ 2,070, for a total of R $ 2,970. On July 1, 2008 he received R $ 4,210 and, on the same day, he withdrew exactly the same amount. In August the situation was repeated: she earned R $ 3,077 and withdrew R $ 3,099 the same day. Months later, in February 2009, Gerbatim received R $ 3,318 and withdrew R $ 3,169.
Bolsonaro deposit
Since July last year, the Specialized Action Group to Combat Corruption of the MP-RJ (Gaecc) has been investigating the existence of ghost employees and the possible practice of “cracking” in Carlos Bolsonaro’s office. The magazine GLOBO y Época showed that it appointed advisers who lived in Minas Gerais and Resende, in the south of the state of Rio. Gaecc is the same group responsible for Flávio’s investigation.

In the investigations into the senator, the MP-RJ found a situation similar to that of Gerbatim in relation to relatives of Ana Cristina Siqueira Valle, ex-wife of President Jair Bolsonaro. According to the investigations, the relatives of the former stepmother living in Flávio’s office “took almost all of the wages received in Alerj to transfer 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.
After Gerbatim left Carlos’ position and went to work for Flávio, between April and May 2010, he stopped receiving a salary from the City Council on this account, where there is also no record of Alerj’s payments. Statements after this period show small value purchases, with one exception. On June 9, 2010, President Jair Bolsonaro made a deposit of R $ 10,000 to Gerbatim. Two days later, the then advisor appeared at Real Veicles Comércio e Serviços and made a payment of R $ 10,000. Wanted, the company said it did not identify records of the transaction. On October 30, 2008, Bolsonaro also made a transfer of R $ 100 to Gerbatim.
These two Bolsonaro transactions are the only financial movements between the president and people linked to Queiroz located in the violation of banking secrecy in the case of “rachadinha.” However, there are records of 27 checks sent by Queiroz and his wife, Márcia Aguiar, to the first lady Michelle Bolsonaro, for a total of R $ 89 thousand.
Darling, Gerbatim said he would not speak.
“I don’t know,” he said over the phone.
In December 2018, he told GLOBO that he worked as a driver for Flávio and denied having returned wages. Carlos’ attorney, Antonio Fonseca, said he would not comment on confidential procedures. On other occasions, the councilor has denied irregularities in the hiring of employees.
