CGU recovers BRL 1.8 billion in leniency agreements in 2021
The Office of the Comptroller General of the Union (CGU) signed five leniency agreements in 2021. The negotiations for this mechanism to fight corruption resulted in the recovery of R$ 1.8 billion from the public coffers. The data were passed on by the minister of the CGU, Wagner Rosário, during an interview with the program Brasil em Pauta, on TV Brasil . According to Rosário, two more deals can still be closed by the end of this year. Another 24 are underway. "This brings a level of recovery never seen in public administration," he said.
The CGU's oversight work also resulted in the dismissal of 445 corrupt public servants. Since 2003, when the controllership was created, there have been around 8500 laid off servers.
In the program, the minister also spoke about the preventive work carried out by the CGU with the dissemination, in public bodies and companies, of integrity programs – created to detect, prevent and solve cases of corruption. According to him, the problem must be faced not only with laws and operations, but with the dissemination of integrity principles throughout society.
The complete interview will air this Sunday (12), at 7:30 pm, on the program Brasil em Pauta , on TV Brasil.
