Overview

  • Damares Alves released requerimentos from the INSS fraud CPMI that cite four churches and five evangelical leaders, including a secrecy request for André Machado Valadão, stressing these are procedural steps and not findings of guilt.
  • She later said the Assembleia de Deus do Amazonas and the linked Fundação Boas Novas provided data now under review by the commission.
  • Pastor Silas Malafaia accused the senator of political opportunism, claimed the CPMI chair denied lobby by religious leaders or involvement of major denominations, and continued to demand proof.
  • PT deputy Rogério Correia filed a request to summon Malafaia to testify, and the pastor publicly welcomed the chance to appear before the panel.
  • The CPMI reports reviewing roughly 4,800 documents, flagging 108 companies, and preparing a request to the Supreme Court to suspend nearly 2 million suspect contracts, with a 60-day extension under consideration.
