CPI on match-fixing will hear Federal Police delegate in public hearing

The Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry (CPI-FUTE), which investigates match-fixing in Brazilian football, will resume work this week. To open the month, president Júlio Arcoverde (PP-PI) and rapporteur Felipe Carreras (PSB-PE) meet in the morning to draw up plans for the second half. And at 2:30 pm, the collegiate will hear Federal Police chief Fabrício Martins Rocha.

After the parliamentary break, CPI-FUTE meets again to continue with its mission to investigate match-fixing in football. With more than a hundred requests for invitations and calls for testimonies, the Commission's president, Júlio Arcoverde (PP-PI), and the rapporteur, Felipe Carreras (PSB-PE) met this Tuesday (1st) to outline the directions of the CPI in order to gain time, since it has been going on for a long time.

At the meeting, parliamentarians will try to adjust the call requirements, making them invitations, so that they can be approved in block. In addition, they will analyze the possibility of new hearings with football players involved in match-fixing. Among them is Alef Manga, from Coritiba, who became a defendant last week.

At 2:30 pm this Tuesday (1st), the first official meeting of the CPI will take place, when the collegiate will hear in a public audience the Federal Police chief Fabrício Martins Rocha about the investigations that are taking place within the scope of the PF.

The collegiate already counts on the collaboration of delegate Sérgio Eduardo Busato, who was appointed by the Ministry of Justice to support the CPI-FUTE in the investigations of match-fixing.

The requests for holding the hearing were presented by the deputies Fred Costa (Patriota-MG) and Albuquerque (Republicanos-RR) and by licensed deputy Yury do Paredão (CE).

"The Federal Police has played a fundamental role in tackling complex crimes and in the fight against corruption and illegal activities in our country. We recognize the importance of the Federal Police's role in investigating cases of match-fixing," justify the parliamentarians.
