The lawyers of the Minister of Economy, Paulo Guedes, will present to the Attorney General’s Office (PGR) and to the Federal Supreme Court (STF) clarifications that the minister has withdrawn from the company’s management offshore Dreadnoughts in December 2018, one month before taking over the ministry. In an official note, the minister’s defense denied that Guedes had acted in such a way as to mix public and private interests.
Signed by lawyers Ticiano Figueiredo and Pedro Ivo Velloso and sent by the press office of the Ministry of Economy, the note said that the documents to be sent to the two bodies show that there was no transfer or withdrawal of values for the company, which operates in the Islands British Virgins, since Guedes took over as Minister of Economy. The defense denied that he privately benefited from any decision regarding Brazilian economic policy.
According to the statement, all documentation and personal information of the minister was sent to the Public Ethics Commission and other competent bodies, at the beginning of the mandate. The note called “delusions and lies” the accusations that the minister used the position to increase his personal wealth.
The text adds that Guedes will gather all the necessary documents to demonstrate that he has not violated the Code of Conduct of the High Federal Administration or the Law on Conflicts of Interest. According to the note, the minister remains at the disposal of public authorities and the National Congress to provide clarifications.
Today (5), the Chamber of Deputies’ Committee on Labor, Administration and Public Service approved a call for Guedes to detail his participation in the offshore. The Senate Economic Affairs Committee approved the invitation for Guedes and the president of the Central Bank, which maintained an offshore in Panama until October 2020, to present explanations. Yesterday (4), the Attorney General’s Office opened a preliminary investigation into the case.
On Sunday (3), Guedes and Campos Neto informed that the offshore were declared the Federal Revenue, the Central Bank, the Public Ethics Commission of the Presidency of the Republic and other competent authorities. The existence of companies in their name was revealed by Pandora Papers, an investigation by an international consortium of journalists based on leaked documents from 14 law firms abroad.
