According to the MP, technical reports prepared by the Prosecutor's Office showed signs of possible manipulation of data in the competition system. Among the irregularities highlighted are the manual insertion and alteration of notes during the night, using network addresses external to the organizing committee, in addition to possible flaws in the chain of custody of the event information. According to the agency, the system records and the audit report were sent to the Technical Advisory of the Attorney General's Office (ASTEC/PGJ), which will carry out a technical analysis to verify the existence of interventions in the database and other possible irregularities.

In the recommendation, the MP advises that João Lisboa City Hall, the City Council and the JK Institute immediately suspend all phases of the competition and stop approving results, making appointments or inaugurating those approved until the investigation is concluded. The document also determines that the suspension be announced on official channels to ensure transparency for candidates and the population. g1 contacted João Lisboa City Hall, the Instituto Social da Cidadania Juscelino Kubitschek (Instituto JK) and the City Council, but did not receive a response until the publication of this article.
