In social networks, the manager stated that the legal procurator of the municipality is preparing a response to Justice.

“After many people ask me what I’m going to do about nepotism in our administration, and also several blogs/portals asking me to pronounce myself, I want to tell everyone, officially, that nobody is above the law and that we always try to follow it and it will be like that, because this law gives us the right of ample defense and contradiction”, published Claudenor on Facebook.

Evaluation

The case

The MPAM recommendation was issued, on Wednesday, 8, through the Prosecutor of Justice of Urucurituba, aiming to curb the practice of nepotism in the hiring of servers by the municipal government. The public prosecutor Kleyson Nascimento Barroso considered the Binding Precedent No. 13 of the Supreme Court (STF), which considers violation of the Federal Constitution (FC) the hiring of relatives up to the third degree in positions of trust in the three branches of government, at the federal, state and municipal levels.

“Cross nepotism or reflex nepotism occurs when there is an exchange of relatives between public agents, that is, reciprocal designations, so that these relatives are hired directly, without a competitive examination. In the course of the investigation, we found that, in the staff of the municipality of Urucurituba, certain municipal civil servants have unquestionable family tie with the mayor, vice mayor, municipal secretaries and councilors”, said the prosecutor, the site of MPAM.

According to the Public Ministry, the 52 servers whose appointment falls into the practice of nepotism, four are relatives of the mayor, six are linked to the vice mayor, 25 are related to councilmen and 17 to municipal secretaries. Kleyson Barroso also determines the dismissal of any other servers whose appointment sets up nepotism.

“Failure to comply with the recommendation constitutes specific intent in the practice of administrative misconduct because of the violation of principles of public administration, enabling the filing of civil action corresponding”, concluded the MPAM.
