The Brazilian Federal Police launched Operation 'Acesso Negado' to investigate alleged irregularities in the allocation of special transfer funds, known as 'emendas PIX,' from lawmakers affiliated with the centrist coalition across four states—Roraima, Bahia, São Paulo, and Tocantins. The operation focuses on two cities in Roraima, Iracema and São Luiz do Anauá, where these funds were allegedly misused. These funds allow direct transfers from the federal government to municipalities without traditional agreements but are criticized for low transparency. Among those targeted are former mayor James Batista of São Luiz do Anauá, who was suspended in 2023 for vote-buying, and public agents suspected of involvement in questionable contracts. The investigation follows audits by the Federal Controller General (CGU) triggered by a request from the Brazilian Association of Investigative Journalism (Abraji), which questioned the legality of this funding model. The CGU report indicates that some projects funded by these grants are stalled, and purchases made with such funds were not registered on the National Public Procurement Portal, violating legal requirements.
