Maria Clara Posada stated that the JEP would have signed 22 agreements with the PNUD between 2018 and 2026 to outsource contracts worth $201.467 million. She wrote that the agency had diplomatic immunity and was not obliged to reveal who it hired, how much it paid, or what work was done, which she described as a scheme of secrecy. Posada claimed that the case would be more serious than that of the parallel Fund of MinIgualdad. The author pointed out alleged irregularities in the agreements. She said that they were governed by PNUD rules, something that, according to her, could only be done if the agency contributed more than 50% of the value, a condition that would have been met in five of the 22 agreements. She also stated that the PNUD did not provide money but made in-kind contributions, and that the available information in Secop did not allow for a detailed understanding of how the JEP calculated its value. Posada added that the law prohibited the use of international cooperation agreements to execute budget resources, in order to prevent evasion of contracting regulations. In this case, she argued, the PNUD would have managed the JEP's resources for tasks specific to the entity, such as ensuring legal advice to victims and strengthening the capacity of the Investigation Unit. #JEP #PNUD #contratación (translated)

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)

Gustavo Tutinha stated that Vasco and a new investor should expand the competition for Maracanã after the Deliberative Council approved Admiral's proposal. According to him, President Pedrinho had signaled this intention on the day of the approval. Tutinha said that questions about possible irregularities and alleged violations of the bidding document, as well as the involvement of the Public Ministry, the Attorney General's Office, and the State Government, had put the concession under greater scrutiny. He predicted that the bidding process, the obligations of the bidding document, and the decisions of the Fla-Flu Consortium would be closely monitored. The author attributed the change in scenario to the posture he characterized as arrogant from BAP and Frederico Nantes. He also stated that the competition for the use of the stadium could turn into a broader debate about the concession and management of Maracanã, which he described as a public asset, not property of the consortium. Tutinha said that the confrontation that began around a semifinal could be the start of a larger dispute. #Maracanã #Vasco #Licitação (translated)
