BLOGDOMACEDO reported that the São Paulo Public Prosecutor's Office requested the preventive detention of Armando Mendonça, vice president of Corinthians, in the case that investigated suspicions of irregularities with sports materials supplied by Nike. According to the author, the news was published by ge this Friday (16), in a report signed by Bruno Cassucci. The request was forwarded to the 25th Criminal Court by prosecutor Cássio Roberto Conserino after the dismissal of Marcelo Munhoes, former Director of Information Technology of the club and a witness considered important by the prosecution. According to the Public Prosecutor's Office, the dismissal occurred on the eve of the instruction hearing scheduled for November 10 and could intimidate witnesses or interfere with the production of evidence. Conserino stated that Munhoes had provided relevant technical elements for the investigation and that the dismissal could also affect other employees called to testify. The author added that the prosecutor pointed out the public support of the Corinthians president, Osmar Stábile, for Mendonça as part of the context and raised suspicions of possible interference in the process. Conserino also opened a new investigative procedure to investigate the circumstances of the dismissal and any potential involvement of Mendonça or third parties in acts aimed at interfering with the investigation. According to BLOGDOMACEDO, Mendonça became a defendant in June after the court accepted the Public Prosecutor's Office's charge. He faced accusations of aggravated continued embezzlement, attempted aggravated continued embezzlement, qualified theft by breach of trust, and coercion in the course of the process. According to the accusation, he had appropriated 131 sports items from Nike, attempted to obtain 19 special jerseys with the NFL patch, and kept eight units of the commemorative edition. The Public Prosecutor's Office also accused him of threatening two witnesses. The author reported that the suspicions arose after an internal audit identified irregularities in the management and distribution of Nike materials in Corinthians. Mendonça denied any irregularities, attributed control problems to the previous management, and questioned the consistency of the audit report. According to ge, he was contacted by the report but had not responded by the time of publication. BLOGDOMACEDO emphasized that it was up to the court to decide on the request for preventive detention and that the request did not mean that the arrest had been decreed. The accusations, he added, still depended on due process. #BlogdoMacedo #Corinthians #MinistérioPúblico #Justiça (translated)

Héctor Suárez Gomís argued that, in his opinion, charging more to citizens would not solve Morena's inability to manage the country and would only finance that incompetence. In a message directed to Viri Ríos, he sarcastically suggested that results should not be demanded from public servants, whom he accused of collecting taxes, doing propaganda, buying votes, bringing people to rallies, defending corrupt officials, destroying the Republic, denying links with organized crime, and promoting the indoctrination of supporters of the Welfare program. He also used derogatory language to refer to the latter group. #México #Gobierno #Corrupción (translated)

Héctor Suárez Gomís questioned Viri Ríos for, according to him, confusing the payment of taxes with demanding that resources be reflected in public services, such as pothole-free streets. He argued that holding the government accountable for maintenance was not hypocrisy and listed taxes such as the ISR, VAT, IEPS, property tax, and vehicle tax. He also stated that the poor condition of the streets forced citizens to cover private medical expenses and repairs for their vehicles, and mentioned that changing all four tires every year could be a consequence of those conditions. Suárez Gomís pointed out that studying at Harvard did not guarantee an understanding that public money belonged to the citizens and that officials should be held accountable. He urged Ríos to demand answers from Adán Augusto and criticized him for refusing to make statements. Additionally, he accused those who reported potholes and opposed the property tax of being inconsistent and argued that citizens demanded punctuality from taxpayers while tolerating, according to him, government ineptitude. #Impuestos #Gobierno #ServiciosPúblicos (translated)

Erika Hilton stated that the Chamber had approved a proposal from the Lula government to forgive all debts of individual microentrepreneurs (MEIs) with the Federal Government. According to her, nearly R$ 13 billion in liabilities would cease to exist, freeing up resources for entrepreneurs and their families and boosting the economy. Hilton also said that the proposal would raise the annual revenue limit for MEIs, which has been frozen at R$ 81,000 since Jair Bolsonaro took office in 2018. The ceiling would increase to R$ 110,000 the following year, within two months, and to R$ 140,000 in 2028. She also stated that MEIs would be able to hire up to two employees and would have an easier time selling products in government purchases. The congresswoman mentioned that the proposal still needed to be approved by the Senate and presented it as an achievement of the Lula government. She also endorsed the candidate supporting the end of the 6x1 scale and the MEIs for the 25th: Lula. #MEI #EconomiaBrasileira #GovernoLula (translated)
