Lula exige investigação máxima da fraude do INSS e libera R$ 3,3 bi para vítimas, mas Ministro da Previdência admite saber de operações da PF pela imprensa.

Uma pessoa reagiu a isso.

Government Opens Credit of R$ 3.3 Billion to Compensate Victims of INSS Fraud, While Minister of Social Security Claims to Discover Operations Through the Press.

President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) has ordered the Federal Police (PF) to go “to the last consequences” in the investigation of the INSS fraud that resulted in undue discounts and misappropriation of funds from retirees. This information was confirmed by the Minister of Social Security, Wolney Queiroz, this Thursday (18), during the program Bom Dia, Ministro, from EBC. The presidential order is for zero tolerance against the scheme, as reported by InfoMoney.

To address the immediate impact on the affected beneficiaries, the government has already issued a Provisional Measure (MP) opening an extraordinary credit of R$ 3.31 billion. According to Minister Queiroz, the main goal of this amount is to facilitate and expedite the full return of the funds that were improperly taken from INSS policyholders.

Zero Tolerance: Lula’s Order and the Minister’s Surprise

During his participation in the EBC program, Wolney Queiroz detailed the emphatic directive received directly from the president. Lula’s recommendation was explicit: there should be no limits or barriers in identifying those responsible for the INSS fraud. The Federal Police is leading the investigation, and the expectation from the Planalto Palace is that the inquiry will identify and criminally punish all those involved in the scheme that affected the benefits of thousands of policyholders.

R$ 3.3 Billion for Compensation: The Plan to Pay Pensioners

In addition to the criminal investigation front, the government is taking action to mitigate the financial damage caused to retirees and pensioners. The Provisional Measure that opens the extraordinary credit of R$ 3.31 billion is currently the main tool for this compensation. This amount will be used exclusively to enable reimbursements and ensure that the return of funds misappropriated in the INSS fraud occurs as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Minister Wolney Queiroz also revealed a second direct order from Lula: massive publicity. The president determined that the ministry utilize all possible channels, including radio and television, to inform affected retirees about their right to compensation. “‘The government wants to pay’”, emphasized Queiroz, signaling an active communication effort to ensure that all those affected by undue discounts seek the INSS to recover the amounts, as highlighted by InfoMoney.

The government’s response to the INSS fraud appears to follow a dual line: rigorous investigation and accelerated compensation. However, the minister of social security’s statement about knowing about PF operations through the press is surprising and raises questions about the integration of actions.

Do you believe that the investigation by the Federal Police will be sufficient to stop this type of fraud? And what do you think about the apparent lack of direct communication between the Ministry and the police in such a serious case? Leave your opinion in the comments, we want to understand your view on the matter.

R$ 3.3 Billion for Compensation: The Plan to Pay Pensioners

While in Brazil a 10-story building takes 2 years to complete, in China a company stacks pre-fabricated modules and raises the entire building in just 28 hours and 45 minutes.

BRICS is preparing a payment system inspired by the Brazilian PIX that will allow direct transactions between countries using national digital currencies without relying on the dollar or Western banks as intermediaries.

Ethiopia has banned gasoline and diesel cars, placed over a hundred silent electric buses on the streets of Addis Ababa, and now aims for half a million electric vehicles by 2030, all powered by Africa’s largest dam and a courage that few countries have shown.

On the coast of China, fishermen received an official reward after finding 10 foreign underwater devices capable of “stealing secrets” in just two years, showing that the silent war for the seabed has already reached the nets of those who rely on fishing.

A view from space, an image made by NASA shows the impressive Richat Structure, a geological formation located in the Sahara Desert, also known as the “Eye of the Sahara.”

In the South Atlantic, three isolated volcanic islands cause the wind to draw perfect spirals visible from space: a rare phenomenon called von Kármán vortex streets forms symmetrical patterns behind the peaks of the South Sandwich Islands and was recorded by the NOAA-20 satellite in 2025.

Solar-powered ice factory in the Amazon that eliminated a 5-hour trip to Manaus, prevents the loss of up to two-thirds of the fish, and now ensures income for more than 30 riverside families.

The largest home appliance manufacturer in the world closed its factory in Argentina and decided that Brazil will absorb everything, transferring machines, production, and supply of entire markets to the unit in Rio Claro, São Paulo, with an investment of nearly R$ 200 million.

As the world watches with concern, Russia and North Korea are strengthening ties with the first road bridge in history between the two countries, capable of transporting 300 vehicles per day, and the inauguration scheduled for June marks a new phase of the alliance between Putin and Kim.

China has just successfully tested the world’s first ground effect maritime vehicle, a craft that flies up to 6 meters above the water at 200 km/h, uses quantum technology and 6G communication, and can rescue patients in the middle of the ocean.

The extratropical cyclone that formed in the ocean is already pushing a cold front with heavy rains over the South of Brazil, and meteorologists warn that Thursday will be the most dangerous day, with significant amounts of rain and cold advancing into Paraguay.

The war in the Middle East has already cost Brazil $882 million in exports that did not leave the country in a single month, with pork falling by 59% and soybeans declining by 25%, and now the agribusiness sector is rushing to find new buyers before the losses double.

Amid international war, rising diesel prices, and a lack of workers, pork enters a new scenario in Brazil that could curb consumption, raise prices, and change the dynamics of the sector in the coming months.
