Secretary Dhieine Caminski; and superintendent Andreis Vicente da Costa Reproduction/Palmas City Hall The outsourcing of the UPAs North and South of Palmas began in March 2026. At the time, the City Hall announced a contract worth R$139 million with the Irmandade da Santa Casa de Misericórdia de Itatiba. The contract was suspended by the Tocantins Court, but was released by the Superior Court of Justice (STJ). The Santa Casa de Misericórdia de Itatiba reported that it is not being investigated in this operation and denied that Cláudia Fernanda is a representative of the institution. The City of Palmas, through the Municipal Attorney General's Office, informed that it is following the case and awaiting access to the official information in the case to comment (see full note below). READ MORE After the arrest of a secretary, police are looking for a businesswoman suspected of negotiating the outsourcing of UPAs Health secretary of Palmas is arrested by the Civil Police in investigation into outsourcing of UPAs Cláudia Fernanda Cândido da Silva is considered a fugitive Disclosure/PCTO See what led to the arrest of the suspects Dhiine Caminski The Secretary of Health had the arrest ordered for the convenience of criminal investigation. According to the decision, electronic messages revealed that, after the investigations began, she had used her hierarchical position to make direct contact with subordinates, suggesting an attempt to monitor and direct the statements that would be made to the police. Furthermore, a police surveillance report indicated that a lawyer linked to her remained nearby the police station to question summoned employees. Another point raised is a possible indication of ideological falsehood in the call waiver document, signed by her, which was not located in the department's official digital systems. Andreis Vicente da Costa The arrest of the person being investigated was based on ensuring public order, due to the possible seriousness of the conduct and the financial value involved. The investigation indicates that he would have written drafts of opinions that should be technical, delivering them ready for signature by other civil servants, without there being a prior debate in the responsible committee. The fact that he enjoyed a luxury vehicle (BMW/X1) leased by Cláudia Fernanda, who would represent the entity benefiting from the contract, also weighed against him. The car rental contract, with a monthly value of R$9,500, would have started just one day before the waiver of bidding for hiring Santa Casa was issued. Cláudia Fernanda Cândido da Silva Appointed as a representative of the benefited social organization, her arrest is also based on guaranteeing public order. The Court considered the risk of repeating the crime, as it responds to administrative improbity action and another police investigation into alleged fraud in the purchase of COVID-19 tests in Palmas. Cláudia is named as the person responsible for renting the luxury vehicle used by the server Andreis Vicente da Costa, which would reinforce the link between those investigated and the contracted entity. The decision highlights that alternative precautionary measures to prison would not be sufficient to protect public order and the prosecution of the case, as the contract under suspicion continues to be executed, with monthly payments estimated at R$11.6 million.
