Former INSS attorney tried to buy a car of $ 380,000 after being the target of operating

Former Chief Prosecutor of the National Institute of Social Security (INSS) Virgílio Antônio Ribeiro de Oliveira Filho tried to buy a luxury car valued at $ 380,000 just over a month after the operation of the Federal Police that removed him from office.

According to a report of the Financial Activities Control Board (COAF) delivered to the INSS CPI, which investigates the scheme of illegal discounts to retirees, the former server requested the bank a reservation to purchase Audi A5 Sedan Performance S Edition.

The request made by him fell on the banking “daily monitoring” of May 28 this year. The Federal Police -free operation went to the streets on April 23. With this, a warning was generated to Coaf, who receives bank communications about suspicious movements.

The document does not specify whether the vehicle was purchased or not. Sought, he did not speak up.

“At this point, the client is removed by the court of his position and claimed to the PF that he used relatives to receive lobbyist values ​​and firms linked to entities under suspicion in the INSS. We understood by communication due to the position that the client occupied and was removed and the reasons for this removal are reflected in investigations of the INSS federal police fraud,” says the report.

Virgílio was one of the five INSS directors dismissed by the court decision that launched the Federal Police -free operation on April 23. The government officially removed him from office on the same day.

The police investigation points out that the then prosecutor had a “heritage increase” of $ 18 million from the group that would be in the center of the fraud. The transfers would have occurred through companies and bank accounts of his wife.

Among the referrals of the money, Antonio Carlos Camilo Antunes, the Bald of the INSS, pointed out as one of the main articulators of the scheme.

The INSS CPI approved, on Thursday, 2, the summons of Virgílio Oliveira Filho to give testimony, which has no date to occur.

Virgílio Oliveira Filho was appointed to the position of Attorney General of the INSS for the first time in 2020, under the government of the former President of the Republic Jair Bolsonaro (PL), and remained in office until 2022, when he started to act as a legal advisor to the Ministry of Labor and Social Security.

In September 2023, already under the government of the President of the Republic, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, Virgil was renamed the INSS Attorney General’s Office.

Payments would be a counterpart to edit opinions that would ensure the continuity of improper charges directly on the payroll of retirees and pensioners.
