Pedro Fernandes, Secretary of Education in the Witzel government, has just been arrested. He is accused of leading a corruption scheme in the department he headed.
The Rio de Janeiro State Secretary of Education, Pedro Fernandes (PSC), is named in a report by the Civil Police as a suspect of receiving bribes in contracts with the Leão XIII Foundation, a public agency subordinate to the state government. The investigation is looking into fraud in services performed between 2015 and 2018, totaling R$66.5 million and allegedly involving the Novo Olhar program, which offers eye exams and glasses to students in the state school system. He denied the accusation, said he was “perplexed” and made himself available to the authorities.
When will Witzel be arrested?
