Investigation Employee arrested on suspicion of embezzling more than R$130,000 and using company card to buy airline tickets, in Goiânia Disclosure/Civil Police According to the police, the woman was arrested a few hours before traveling to Rio de Janeiro. "She had already checked in for boarding. Faced with the possibility of escape, police teams intensified their efforts and carried out the arrest a few hours before the trip", the corporation reported.

The investigation continues to determine the participation of other people and seek the recovery of the allegedly embezzled amounts. Note from the employee's defense The defense informs that it is adopting all appropriate legal measures to clarify the facts and restore his freedom. The employee is a primary employee, has a good record and has not previously committed any crime. Regarding the trip scheduled for Rio de Janeiro, the ticket had been purchased before any police intervention, it was a leisure trip for the June 4th holiday. She did not commit a crime using violence or serious threats. The defense reinforces its confidence in justice and the correct application of the law, highlighting that the employee collaborates with the authorities and has full links with the guilty district, and there is no need for the extreme precautionary measure imposed on her. We are talking about an ongoing police investigation, which has not even been reported yet (the Public Prosecutor's Office will still have to analyze and offer it). The victim has shared an image of the accused who has not yet had a complaint filed and has not even been convicted (for now, before sentencing we talk about the presumption of innocence). They are saying that it was a “millionaire blunder” and that is not the case, if we talk about 200 thousand, he is not a millionaire. Out of respect for procedural secrecy and ethics, the defense will not comment on details of the investigation, pending the judgment of the freedom requests.

Thus, all legal measures were taken, always highlighting trust in justice. The company's operations continue normally, without any impact on customers, business partners, suppliers or employees.
