CGU and Federal Police launch Operation NaClO in Roraima

Summary:

The Controladoria-Geral da Uniu00e3o (CGU) is participating in Operation NaClO, a joint investigation with the Polu00edcia Federal, to investigate potential fraud in public procurement contracts for disinfection services in Roraima state, particularly in Alto Alegre, during the COVID-19 pandemic. The investigation began after a CGU audit found irregularities in a contract award, including overpriced services, illegal subcontracting, and links between companies involved in the bidding process. The estimated loss to the public treasury is R$1,543,500.00, representing 77% of the contract value. The operation consists of 11 search and seizure warrants and involves five CGU staff members and 50 federal police officers. Those involved may face charges for fraud, money laundering, and other crimes. The public can report any information or irregularities through the Fala.BR platform.
