When analyzing the case, the judge understood that there were signs of violation of the right to defense and the so-called "prohibition of surprise accusations". Now on g1 According to the decision, the CPI formally informed the mayor that she was not being investigated and, subsequently, included her among those responsible named in the final report without providing the opportunity for prior manifestation. “The CPI broke good faith and the protection of trust, acting with evident institutional disloyalty and “procedural surprise”, highlighted the judge in the decision. Despite suspending the effects of the report in relation to the mayor, the Court did not prohibit the forwarding of the document to control bodies, such as the State Public Ministry (MPE), Federal Public Ministry (MPF), State Audit Court (TCE-MT) and Federal Comptroller General (CGU). However, the City Council must attach a copy of the court decision to the referral, informing that the conclusions, indictments and charges attributed to the mayor are temporarily without legal effect.

According to her, "it is necessary to trust institutions and guarantee the application of laws." "I was not treated as being investigated during the work, I was not summoned to testify nor was I given the opportunity to present a defense" he explained. According to the Chamber, the report also recommended the precautionary removal of three other municipal employees with the aim of avoiding interference in future investigations by control bodies. The measures do not mean a prior declaration of guilt. Over the course of 11 months, the CPI discovered a repetitive pattern of failures in the contracts investigated: Hiring companies with technical and financial difficulties; successive deadline and value additions without adequate justification; oversight failures; prolonged stoppages of works with a high social impact (schools, UBS, squares, paving); direct financial and social losses to the population.
