Braskem's#toLobbybecame a police case
Legislative Police were called by Senator Rogério Carvalho, CPI rapporteur.
Braskem's lobbying at the Senate's CPI became a police case. One of the professionals who represented the mining company, through the public relations company FSB, bothered senators, journalists and members of social organizations
civil security to such an extent that the Legislative Police had to be called.
The Intercept Brasil obtained reports and photographs that revealed the professional's practices. Among them, the persecution of parliamentary advisors; the impolite approach to activists who attended the sessions; the production of photographs of those present without authorization; and infiltration among journalists to hear statements from the CPI rapporteur, senator Rogério Carvalho, from the PT of Sergipe.
This is journalist João Freire, with experience at Revista Fórum and Empresa Brasil de Comunicação, EBC. He currently identifies himself on LinkedIn as coordinator of the Green Industry project at the FSB. However, the report obtained WhatsApp messages in which he introduced himself to interlocutors as “Braskem advisor for the Maceió case”.
“This gentleman never introduced himself, nor did he have any identification of where he was from or who he was representing. And he openly surrounded the senator when he left the CPI sessions and during interviews”, a member of the PT member’s team told me.
According to the senator's aides, “this ended up becoming invasive at a certain point.” The solution found by the office was to call the CPI Secretariat to contact the Senate Legislative Police – which should then deal with the problem.
“What we did to solve it was ask the CPI secretariat itself to contact the Senate Police to deal with the situation in the best way possible. And what we learned was that you yourself apologized and he stopped acting in an overt and invasive way”, stated Carvalho’s office.
