The Labor Court of Betim, in Minas Gerais, determined the blocking of more than R$ 61.8 thousand in private pension plans of Renan Santos, candidate for President of the Republic for the Missão party, in addition to 17 other people and defendant companies in a labor lawsuit. The action was filed by a painter who claims to have been fired in 2014 from a company supposedly linked to the candidate, without correctly receiving severance pay. The professional also claims salary differences, overtime hours, unhealthy work premium, FGTS deposits and other labor benefits. Judge Ordenisio Cesar dos Santos ordered an insurance company to report, within ten days, whether the defendants have private pension plans, so that the values can be blocked up to the determined limit.
