Overview
- A GSI portaria signed June 19 was published in the Diário Oficial on Monday with two assistant slots listed as the placeholders “Fulano de Tal” and “Cicrano de Tal” alongside one named sergeant.
- The GSI told reporters it had identified the error and would issue a retificação, a formal DOU correction used to amend official acts.
- Reporting shows the portaria was republished with corrected names, expanding the list to four actual servicemembers who will receive the Gratificação de Representação da Presidência da República (Nível IV, R$ 808.61).
- The mistake drew attention because the GSI coordinates presidential protection, and outlets have questioned the agency’s document-preparation and verification steps that allowed template names into an official instrument.
- Next steps to watch include any internal review by the GSI or the Presidency of the Republic and whether procedures for drafting and certifying DOU notices will be tightened to prevent similar administrative errors.
