Pandora's Box Former governor José Roberto Arruda is convicted of administrative misconduct The case investigates a corruption scheme in the Federal District Government (GDF) between 2006 and 2009. According to the DF Public Ministry, the company Call Tecnologia e Serviços Ltda. paid bribes to public agents to maintain irregular contracts and guarantee payments. According to the investigation, the transfers would correspond to around 10% of the value of the invoices. The scheme included the use of the “debt recognition” mechanism, which allowed payments without a formal contract or tender. The volume of this type of operation grew by more than 500% in the period, and the amounts paid to the company exceeded R$66.5 million. According to whistleblower Durval Barbosa, during the Arruda government (2007-2010) there was a corruption scheme that used emergency contracts and "debt recognition" invoices with participating companies. Barbosa told the court that almost all services provided by companies to the government were overpriced, predicting a payment of 10% intended for bribes. According to the indictment, Linknet's contracts with the Executive to supply equipment and computer programs ceased to be valid in January 2007. Even so, the services continued to be paid until June 2009. There were two recognitions of debts, in the amounts of R$37.5 million and R$63.8 million. Read more news about the region on g1 DF.
