Summary:

The CGU (Controladoria-Geral da Uniu00e3o) has imposed a penalty of removal from office on Roberto Ferreira Dias, former director of the Logistics Department in Health at the Ministry of Health's Executive Secretariat. The decision, published in the Official Gazette of the Union (DOU) on September 15, 2023, stems from a disciplinary administrative process (PAD) initiated under Law No. 8,112/1990. The aim was to investigate shortcomings in the logistics strategy for ensuring the timely and correct receipt of respirators purchased by the Ministry of Health for distribution to federal entities during the COVID-19 pandemic. The process revealed inconsistencies in internal administrative controls over donated equipment, resulting from the former director's failure to correct the irregularities despite successive alerts from the CGU's audit team.
