CPI do Crime Organizado quer ouvir TH Joias ainda nesta quarta-feira
Sem aval do STF, CPI do Crime Organizado cancela oitiva de TH Joias

Overview

  • Committee chair Fabiano Contarato said the hearing planned for Wednesday was scrapped because Minister Alexandre de Moraes had not granted authorization to remove the prisoner from the federal facility in Brasília.
  • TH Joias was formally summoned and remains under a restrictive regime at the Brasília federal penitentiary, with CPI leaders calling his account essential to map how factions penetrate the formal economy.
  • Investigators allege his jewelry business served as a front to move funds for the Comando Vermelho, with Federal Police tying him to drug, arms and money-laundering schemes.
  • The CPI is voting on 69 requests that target high-ranking figures and data access, including invites to STF ministers Alexandre de Moraes and Dias Toffoli, governors, the chief of the Army, and economic authorities such as Central Bank president Gabriel Galípolo.
  • Financial scrutiny includes potential secrecy breaks and the planned questioning of Banco Master’s Daniel Vorcaro, while background probes note the September 2025 arrest of TH Joias and the December detention of TRF-2 judge Macário Júdice over suspected leaks.
