INSS Fraud Investigation: A Brasília Catering Company Under Scrutiny

A catering company in Brasília, "Tuttano Culinária Artesanal LTDA," is at the center of an investigation into alleged fraud involving the Instituto Nacional do Seguro Social (INSS). The company, which received significant funds from the Confederação Nacional dos Trabalhadores na Agricultura (Contag), a union under investigation for improper deductions from pensioners' payments, has raised suspicion due to its apparent lack of activity at its registered address.

Key Findings

• The company's location was found closed with only a sign indicating its name and phone number.
• The investigation suggests the company may have been used to launder money obtained through illicit deductions from INSS payments.
• The company’s reported revenue is significantly lower than its actual financial transactions, suggesting a discrepancy.
• The money trail leads to several other beneficiaries, including a public school teacher and an individual with an income that does not align with the substantial sums received.
• The Contag denies any wrongdoing and claims to have alerted the INSS.

This investigation led to the resignation of the Minister of Social Security, Carlos Lupi, and the president of the INSS, Alessandro Stefanutto, highlighting the gravity of the situation. The investigation is ongoing, and further details are expected to emerge.
