MaisPB • Defense Points out Gaeko's "Political Bias" to Harm Ricardo with Lula's Government

NEW COMPLAINTS

The defense points to Gaeko’s “political bias” to harm Ricardo with the help of Lula’s government.

Ricardo Coutinho (PT), former Senate candidate for Paraiba

The defense of former governor Ricardo Coutinho (PT) came out this Thursday afternoon (15) regarding the latest complaint filed by the Paraiba Public Ministry (MPPB) under Operation Calvario. Today, the Organized Crime Special Action Group (Gaeco) accused the PT candidate, his brother Coriolano Coutinho, as well as Pedro Patricio de Sousa Junior and Alexandre Magno Candido da Cruz of mismanagement of the Paraiba State Lottery. – LOTEP.

In the note, the lawyers said the new charge comes at a time when the name of Ricardo, who will head Lula’s government, is quoted. See note:

Ricardo Coutinho’s defense learned from the press today about a new complaint filed by the State Ministry of Paraiba – GAECO/PB.

Apart from the fact that the accusation is based on old findings, reinforced by already rejected and discredited words of award-winning informants, the new accusation only confirms the political bias of the so-called “Calvario Operation” against Ricardo Coutinho, as well as the proposal of new denunciations just at the moment when his name begins to speculate to form a new government of the president-elect.

Practices such as this show more and more that sectors of the public ministry are acting against Ricardo Coutinho, using public institutions as veritable war machines to try to eliminate and destroy political opponents.

accusation

Investigations show that Coriolano controlled LOTEP and was one of the main persons responsible for collecting bribes intended for Ricardo. The ex-governor’s influential brother is being identified by investigators as using the power of the state to divert company concessions into the possibility of repeating game operating contracts already signed, including being fired, fired, or suspended. .

In addition to influence, Corey is suspected of extortion. One of the businessmen, heard by the Paraiba State Ministry (MPPB), said he was forced to buy groceries from detainees in order to avoid reprisals.

The new complaint points to two crimes of extortion. The first is committed by Ricardo, Coriolano and Pedro Patricio against Denilson Machado, who was threatened with the intent to profit economically by selling the electric trios.

Another extortion persists in accusing Daniel Gomes of making threats so that the contract with the Bilhetão company is canceled under the threat of termination of the contract between the Brazilian Red Cross and the state government.

The dollar continues to reflect the political scenario

Yesterday, financial agents evaluated the opposite decision of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) regarding the so-called secret budget. In addition, a decision was made by STF Minister Gilmar Méndez to issue an injunction that would exclude the Bolsa Família from the spending cap rule, with investors trying to understand how this measure would affect the processing of the transitional PEC in the Chamber of Deputies. Oh this PEC!!!!

Since he is an exchange investor, any reading that the budget will be exceeded or become more flexible will negatively affect the exchange market, whether through the PEC or in any other way. We will continue with volatility today.

Looking beyond, the US Central Bank (Fed), although slowing down the pace of monetary tightening at its December meeting, issued a tougher-than-expected statement warning that its fight against inflation was not yet over, raising fears that rising US interest rates will push the world’s largest economy into recession.

The currency market continues to react to political news. The voting on the PEC is saved for today. It is expected that it will indeed be reviewed to open the way tomorrow for discussions on the 2023 budget.

Yesterday, the spot price closed the selling day at R$5.3103.

For today on the calendar we will have an index of consumer confidence in the eurozone. Good luck and good luck in business!!

The EU has reached a political agreement on limiting gas prices – 19.12.2022

Germany sentenced Russian to life imprisonment for political murder by order of Moscow - 12/15/2021

BRUSSELS, DECEMBER 19 (ANSA). European Union countries reached a political agreement on Monday (19) to impose a natural gas price ceiling of 180 euros per megawatt hour (MWh). The main sources of income for Russia and the minimization of the use of energy as a weapon by the regime of Vladimir Putin.

The agreement was approved by a supermajority at a ministerial meeting of member states in Brussels, Belgium, after months of discussions about the best way to contain the rise in natural gas prices in the bloc caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. .

The value set by the countries is well below the proposal made by the European Commission, the EU’s executive body, in November: 275 EUR/MWh. However, the countries leading the cap campaign were in favor of an even lower limit, around 100 EUR/MWh.

Germany, always wary of price controls, voted in favor of 180 euros, while Austria and the Netherlands, also skeptical of the cap, abstained. Hungary, the most pro-Russian country in the EU, voted against.

The instrument will enter into force on 15 February, but only if natural gas prices on the Amsterdam Stock Exchange exceed 180 euros/MWh for three consecutive days. In addition, the difference compared to a number of global benchmarks should be more than 35 euros.

Italy, the EU’s biggest supporter of the ceiling, has claimed responsibility for the measure. “This is a victory for Italy, which believed and worked for us to reach this agreement,” Environment and Energy Minister Gilberto Picetto tweeted.

“This is a victory for Italian and European citizens who demand energy security,” he added.

Currently, the gas price in Amsterdam is around 110 EUR/MWh, which is already a reflection of the agreement in Brussels – in August the figure even broke the barrier of 340 EUR/MWh.

However, Russia has already threatened to stop exports to countries that adhere to the ceiling. (ANSA).
