Brazilija – Poslanec zanika obtožbe o korupciji
By James - 25. september 2023
Po poročanju tednika Veja naj bi se na predsednika Združenja iger in loterije Wesleyja Cardia obrnil Felipe Carreras, rapporteur of the Sports Betting CPI. Wesley Cardias CEO of Nacionalno združenje iger in loterij (ANJL) je imenoval pred CPI v juliju.
Po navedbah revije je na Cardia pristopil poslanec in ga domnevno prosil za 35 milijonov R$ v zameno za "pomoč in zaščito". Obtožbe je zanikal poslanec Felipe Carreras, ki je dejal, da "nikoli" ni zahteval podkupnine, češ da je to velika krivica. Zgodbo je v izjavi ovrgel tudi ANJL.
However deputies want to hear from José Francisco Manssur, special advisor to the Ministry of Finance, about the content of the report published by Veja magazine last week.
This is because according to the report, Cardia sought out José Francisco Manssur, special secretary of the Ministry of Finance, to make the accusation against Carreras and also to say that he had been approached by other deputies who were seeking to obtain financial advantages.
In a statement Carreras strongly denied the claims saying that even the magazine article admitted that there was no evidence behind the claims:
“Regarding the report published in Veja, in the edition of 22.09.2023, which accused him of serious accusations, federal deputy Felipe Carreras (PSB-PE), rapporteur for the CPI on Sports Betting, is publicly reporting that:
Revista Veja itself states that ‘no material evidence was presented against the deputy’.
In other words, the article conveys rumours, reported to a third party without proof or any factual basis, as the report states.
Furthermore, the alleged meeting in which the president of the National Association of Games and Lotteries would have denounced the bribe request was denied, by Cardia himself, in a note to Veja.
In any case, the deputy remains at the disposal of the authorities for any and all clarifications that may be necessary.”
