INSS CPI hears son of Maurício Camisotti this Thursday

The mixed INSS CPI hears Paulo Camisotti, son of the imprisoned businessman Maurício Camisotti, to investigate alleged fraud involving the family's companies and illegal deductions from retirees.

The mixed Commission of Inquiry (CPI) into the National Institute of Social Security (INSS) heard Paulo Camisotti, the son of businessman Maurício Camisotti, on Thursday, September 26, 2025. Maurício has been imprisoned since September 12, 2025, for his alleged involvement in INSS fraud, specifically for being identified as a hidden partner of an entity benefitting from these irregularities. The investigation aims to determine how funds from associations flowed to the Camisotti family's companies and the extent of Paulo's involvement in the illegal deductions that affected retirees and pensioners.

During this session, testimonies were also anticipated from state deputy Edson Cunha and attorney Cecílio Galvão. However, Edson managed to secure a habeas corpus, thereby evading questioning, and Cecílio could not be located for his statement. The hearing was scheduled to start at 9 AM but experienced delays in its commencement, indicating potential complications in the ongoing investigation process.

Additionally, Senator Carlos Viana was elected as the president of the CPMI on September 20, 2025, underscoring the importance of this inquiry. The focus on the Camisotti family reflects broader concerns regarding corruption and fraud within Brazil's social security system, emphasizing the need for accountability and transparency to protect the rights of pensioners and ensure the proper management of public funds.
