Businessman Maurício Camisotti, arrested since September 2025 for suspected frauds in INSS retirement discounts, has confessed the crimes and signed a plea deal with the Federal Police. The PF sent the agreement to STF Minister André Mendonça for review. His defense hopes it will lead to house arrest.
STF Minister André Mendonça ruled on Monday (March 23) that the Court's plenary analyze the endorsement of the preliminary injunction extending the INSS CPMI's work. He ordered Senate President Davi Alcolumbre to read the extension request within 48 hours. The decision responds to lawmakers investigating frauds in pension benefits.
