An investigation that, if it goes ahead, will end up in the Tax Crimes Court, Criminal Organization and Laundering of Capital Goods and Values has been arousing curiosity in the legal community. The targets are the Vai-Vai samba school, the Spanish company Acciona and Luiz Roberto Marcondes Machado de Barros, named by the police as one of the leaders of the PCC and known as Beto Bela Vista.
As the case is under secrecy, those who do not have details ask what the relationship between the parties would be.
The investigation takes place after negotiations to change the address of the samba school’s court, located in the Bela Vista neighborhood, due to the construction of a subway station on the site by Acciona, responsible for the work on line 6-Orange, in São Paulo. .
Asked by the SA Panel if there is any relationship, Acciona cites circumstances of the work in the region.
“For the construction of station 14 Bis of line 6-Orange of São Paulo subway, it was necessary to change the location of the court of the Vai-Vai samba school. The change of location gave rise to an indemnity that was used by Vai -It goes to the purchase of a property that, due to a condition imposed by Conpresp to protect cultural heritage, was carried out in the same neighborhood”, says the concessionaire in a note.
Vai-Vai says it was not notified.
According to the announcement of the change of address made by Vai-Vai in September, the school’s original headquarters, 50 years ago between São Vicente and Lourenço Granato streets, in the Bixiga region, in Bela Vista, moves to Almirante Marques Leão Street, which is about 500 meters from the current building.
At the beginning of the month, line 6 was highlighted in the news after the opening of the crater on the Tietê waterfront around another stretch of the work.
In more than a decade, the construction of line 6 has undergone all kinds of upheavals, from obstacles with Lava Jato in the original consortium — prior to the signing of the contract with Acciona, in 2020 — and even protests by residents of an upscale São Paulo neighborhood. interested in blocking the flow of people brought by public transport.
The line is 15 kilometers long, with 15 stations that pass close to major higher education institutions in the capital of São Paulo, which made it known as the university line. It also links with Brasilândia, one of the city’s poorest neighborhoods.
