Nunes says he will file a consultation request regarding contract with NGO investigated in Dark Horse case

cbn14 September 2026 at 16:05

Mayor Ricardo Nunes (MDB) announced that the Municipal Attorney's Office will file a consultation request on Monday (14th) with the office of Minister Flávio Dino regarding the city government's contract with the NGO investigated in the Dark Horse case. According to the mayor, if any irregularities are identified, the contract will be suspended immediately.

So far, Nunes claims there is no reason for suspension, as, according to him, the service was rendered and paid for at the contracted amount. The mayor argued that it is not his responsibility to monitor what the organization does with the funds received after the service is provided.

Nunes stated that he contracted the service at a price much lower than the market rate and that the responsibility for how the money is used lies with the entity that received the funds. He added that no one is able to know what a person does with the funds, since they belong to that person after the service is completed.

Why this matters

The case directly affects São Paulo residents, as it involves a municipal contract under investigation that may have used public funds improperly. The mayor's response seeks to reassure taxpayers about the transparency of the management while the investigation continues.
