Reports of the Federal Audit Office (TCU), Office of the Comptroller General Federal Government (CGU) and an expert report from the Federal Police report fraud, overbilling and overvaluation of contracts signed between Dersa and contractors OAS and Mendes Júnior. The OAS confirms that the PF was at its headquarters in São Paulo and that it is collaborating to provide clarification on new and old projects (see full note below).
Investigations have reported alleged practices of bribery, criminal organization, auction fraud, economic crime and misappropriation of public funds. The works were funded by the Federal Government, the Government of the State of São Paulo and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and were audited by Dersa.
The investigation began in 2016 when an engineer who was occupying the northern section refused to sign addenda for the construction contract of the section. He said that they tried to force him to resign and then transferred him to the area.
The work of the northern section is divided into six lots, started in 2013 and still in progress. In them were found signs of irregularities. Only in Lot 2, badyzed by the TCU, the irregularities amounted to 110 million reals.
"To compensate for the price was adopted the practice of" spreadsheet ", common practice in frauds to bid with many items contracted globally, in which the offeror offers a higher price than the market for from others, in order to artificially place themselves as a lower overall price, this means is common in fraudulent auctions, "says the federal prosecutor.
In lot 1, for example, increases of 16% to 430 % in the excavation and explosive services, tunnel structure, loading and dismantling of the mortar were calculated, unduly adding to the works about 60 million reais. In lot 2, there is had an increase of 987% (over R $ 21 million) in excavation and explosive services and in lot 3, increases of up to 1 223%.
The UGT investigation revealed that several contracts were concluded s low cost, compared to the initial budget forecast of Dersa, and other services were included by means of additive terms to substantially increase the cost of the works and undermine competition, Unjustified increases of lots 1, 2, 3 and 5 reached more than 143 million reais, "says the Attorney General's office.
Eduardo Carnelós, Laurance lawyer Casagrande Lourenço said that he considers the imprisonment of his client as a great injustice.
Dersa, the state responsible for labor, said in a note that the government and the agency of São Paulo "are most interested in the progress of the process, and if there is possible damage to the public treasury, the state will take appropriate action, acted on other occasions. "
Former Governor Geraldo Alckmin said through his press office that he had received the news with surprise and "that he was not aware of the data in which the action of the federal police was supported." Laurence Lourenço enjoys trust with years of good jobs and that if there is something illegal, there is an obligation to report, "says the note.
The São Paulo government declared that it determined General Corregedoria to Administration the opening of the union.
The OAS published the following note: "Federal police officers were this morning at the OAS headquarters in São Paulo, to search and seize documents relating to the work of the Paulista Rodoanel, Responsible for Lots 2 and 3 A former company executive who was in charge of the project – apart from the company's staff since 2016 – was also temporarily detained.
Due to these events, the new management of the OAS clarifies the public opinion, our employees, our employees, our creditors and our suppliers, who consider it relevant to leave no doubt or suspicion on the company before it arrives at the control of the Company, activities and contracts on which there are issues – in the Rodoanel project in particular and in all others that it executes.
