Leandro Gabrigna was dismissed from his position as Planning Secretary of Assis (SP), after his arrest during a Civil Police operation, this Monday (13) Assis City Hall/Disclosure Councilor relates threats to the Fuel CPI In an interview with TV TEM, Fernando Sirchia stated that he believes that the threats are related to the work of the Parliamentary Inquiry Commission (CPI) established in the Assis City Council Chamber to investigate alleged irregularities in the supply of the city hall's fleet. He is president of the commission. According to the councilor, the commission, popularly called the Fuel CPI, identified signs of officially registered supplies, but which had not been carried out. "The CPI discovered a scheme through the supply system. Many of the supplies that were on paper did not happen. All that happened was the exchange of city hall resources for money for the operators," he told TEM TV. Still according to Sirchia, the investigation found situations considered incompatible with the system's records, such as vehicles that were undergoing maintenance in another city appearing to be fueled in Assis, in addition to the use of passwords from drivers who were working in other locations or even on vacation. "There was a Health van stopped for maintenance in Marília, but it was refueled in Assis. Van was refueled with a driver's ticket that was in operation in Santa Casa. Van was used with a driver's ticket that was on vacation," he said, on TV TEM. The councilor also stated that the surveys indicate that the alleged irregularities may have occurred over a longer period of time and that people who were administratively investigated in previous administrations began to occupy commanding positions in the supply system in the current administration. "Deeping deeper, we realized that the scheme is not new today. Whoever responded to the administrative process became the manager of this fuel scheme in the current municipal administration. The scheme took on other proportions and it was necessary to open the CPI for us to investigate", he declared.
