The Public Prosecutor's Office of the Federal District and Territories (MPDFT) is currently investigating allegations of irregularities regarding appointments to positions within the Institute of Pension for Federal District Servants (Iprev). The investigation stems from accusations of nepotism involving Raquel Galvão Rodrigues da Silva, the president of Iprev since 2023. The inquiries suggest that family ties have influenced the hiring of individuals associated with her, compromising the integrity of the appointment process.

The probe has identified specific individuals who may have benefited from these alleged nepotistic practices. Among them is Ícaro Lobão de Castro, reported to be the stepson of the Iprev president, who held the position of special advisor in the Legal Directorate of Iprev but was dismissed after just three months in office. Another individual, Lucas Douglas Oliveira da Silva, is said to be married to the president's niece and was also appointed as a special advisor in the same department, raising further questions about the impartiality of appointments within the institute.

This investigation underscores the importance of transparency and accountability in public service appointments, particularly within governmental bodies responsible for managing public funds and services. The allegations, if proven true, could have significant implications for the governance of Iprev and may prompt calls for stricter regulations to prevent nepotism and ensure fair hiring practices in the public sector.
