The Court of Accounts in Brazil has suspended a contract for a R$ 1.1 million show by the musical duo Bruno and Marrone, initially scheduled for March 14, 2026, during a motocross event in Axixá. This decision marks the second suspension, following the first one in December 2025, when inconsistencies within the contract were highlighted by the TCE. The ruling raises concerns regarding the management of public funds in local events, particularly involving significant amounts associated with contracted performances.

In the face of these recent developments, the Axixá city administration claimed that there was no intent to defy administrative principles, asserting their commitment to facilitating events that could positively impact the local economy. This statement comes amidst scrutiny and the necessity for transparency in public financial dealings. Local authorities are now working to respond appropriately to the TCE's findings and to ensure compliance with legal standards for future contracts.

After the initial suspension, Mayor Auri Wulange of Axixá admitted to the existing irregularities and ordered the annulment of the original contract. However, soon after, the municipality initiated another administrative process to secure the show, drawing attention to potential lapses in governance that may require further investigations. The ongoing situation highlights a critical examination of local government practices and how they pertain to event funding and accountability for taxpayer money.
