São Paulo Mayor Ricardo Nunes (MDB) on Monday (14th) defended the regularity of the contract signed by the City Hall with the Instituto Conhecer Brasil (ICB) for the installation of free Wi-Fi points in communities in the capital. During a seminar promoted by the Grupo Esfera, at Casa Fasano, in São Paulo, Nunes stated that the contract followed legal procedures and that the service is being effectively provided, declaring that "there is no irregularity whatsoever."
The agreement is at the center of an investigation that examines suspicions of irregularities and the possible use of public funds in the production of the film Dark Horse, about former President Jair Bolsonaro. The ICB, chaired by Karina Ferreira da Gama, received more than R$100 million from the city government to execute the Wi-Fi Livre program.
Karina Ferreira da Gama is also linked to the production company responsible for Dark Horse, establishing the connection between the public contract and the film production. The case began being investigated initially by the Civil Police and later came under the radar of an inquiry conducted at the federal level.
