There are suspicions of fraud in the bidding procedure for the renovation of the headquarters of the city council of Balneario Barra do Sul.

Elements such as the absence of estimated budgets, the incompatibility of the accepted form of bidding with the value of the contract, the identity of the unit cost of the proposals with a change only in the total cost, and the involvement of front companies raised suspicions in the investigation procedure. .

It also investigates possible deviations from the materials used in the reform of municipal legislation, which may qualify as theft.
