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.
