The state of São Paulo asked the Federal Supreme Court to declare its registration irregular in the Single Registry of Requirements for Voluntary Transfers (Cauc), a subsystem linked to the Federal Government's Integrated Financial Administration System (Siafi), of the National Treasury Secretariat. Registration prevents the state from receiving voluntary transfers from the Union, as well as from signing new agreements and credit operations and receiving transfers of resources in previously signed agreements. According to the state, the restriction was applied due to alleged irregularities in the execution of several agreements signed between the State Secretariat for Penitentiary Administration and the Union, through the Ministry of Justice.
The purpose of the agreements is to build five prison units in the state of São Paulo. The São Paulo prosecutor's office states that, despite the five prison units having been opened within the Phone Number List scheduled deadline, the National Penitentiary Department (Depen), despite the obligation to regularly monitor the execution of the works, failed to comply with it or carried out the inspection “for too long after the works were completed and with the prison units already occupied by inmates, the vast majority of whom were highly dangerous”. The defense claims that the delay in inspection “does not accurately portray the original state of the construction, because in this period, it suffers natural deterioration due to use and also due to vandalism and possible rebellions.
It states that the inspection reports were made unilaterally by Depen, “without considering the entire unit at the time of its completion, in addition to omitting problems related to natural deterioration practiced by convicts”. Considering the reports “distorted”, the state of São Paulo, according to the state attorney, “did not agree and will never be able to agree” with the report issued by the Depen directors, since “the high amounts, now requested by the Union, were effectively applied by the state in the works, with no legal reason or provision in the agreements justifying the intended full refund, especially because the counterparts and amounts already refunded were not considered.
