Justice of the Brazilian Federal Supreme Court (STF) Flávio Dino froze the assets of former Chamber of Deputies President Eduardo Cunha, valued at 6 million Brazilian Reais. A Federal Police investigation revealed evidence that Cunha continued to manage parliamentary allowances through allied lawmakers even after his removal from office in 2016.
The investigation focuses on the embezzlement of funds from the Chamber's Health Committee allowances, showing that Cunha redirected the allowances using a lawmaker named Gilberto Abramo. The allegations are based on evidence obtained from messages extracted from Cunha's phone and his correspondence with Chamber employee Mariângela Fialek. These messages confirm that Cunha played a direct role in the distribution of the allowances.
The investigation is part of an operation looking into the misuse of 'secret budget' funds. As part of the same investigation, the assets of Liberal Party President Valdemar Costa Neto, valued at 119 million Reais, were also frozen. Cunha's defense stated that it will appeal the decision.
