Senator Jayme Campos (União Brasil) raised the tone this Wednesday (19), at the Legislative Assembly of Mato Grosso (ALMT), when commenting on complaints involving public resources in the state. The statements were made after he attended hearings from the Health CPI.

Jayme stated that the suspicions need to be investigated extensively and demanded action from control bodies. When asked about the seriousness of the facts reported, he said he considered that there was evidence of organized action.

“For me, it’s a criminal organization,” he said.

The senator also said he had information that new operations could be launched in Mato Grosso. According to him, complaints about possible misappropriation of public resources cannot be treated as isolated episodes or simply be forgotten.

"Every day there are allegations of embezzlement of public resources. Will it stop there? It can't stop there. We have to investigate all these facts that happened in our State", he declared.

Afterwards, he stated that further police actions may occur. “It seems like more [operations] are coming, because the train there is uglier than you think,” he said.

Jayme also defended that any investigations should reach people with greater economic or political power, if irregularities are identified.

"You have to go to prison, friend. You have to go to prison and you have to return the money from the State of Mato Grosso to the people of Mato Grosso", he stated. “It can’t be for the poor, it has to be for the rich too,” he added.

“If I open my mouth” The statement with the greatest repercussion occurred when the senator started talking about concessions and privatizations of state highways. Without pointing out contracts, companies or names, he defended that the sector should also be investigated.

"The privatization of roads here has to be investigated. It's just a mess too", he stated.

Then, Jayme said she had information that, if made public, could expand the scope of the investigations.

"If I'm going to open my mouth here, excuse my expression, if I'm going to say everything I know, Mato Grosso is over. There won't be any jails for a few people. We'll have to look for new prisons", he declared.

Despite the seriousness of the statements, the senator did not present, at that time, documents, names or details that would allow identifying the specific facts to which he was referring.
