A Polícia Federal (PF) deflagrou, neste sábado (3), a "Operação Velha Política", com o objetivo de combater um suposto esquema de compra de votos no município de Marabá, no sudeste do Pará. A ação policial resultou na apreensão de mantimentos e bens que teriam como destino o aliciamento de eleitores.

Ao todo, os agentes federais cumpriram três mandados de busca e apreensão. Durante as buscas em um dos endereços investigados, a PF localizou um verdadeiro depósito de mercadorias. Ninguém foi preso.

Entre os itens apreendidos estavam:

Cestas básicas e alimentos;

Cadeiras de rodas e cadeiras de banho;

Banheiras infantis e cobertores;

Eletrodomésticos e geradores de energia.

Além dos donativos, os policiais apreenderam documentos com informações de campanhas políticas e aparelhos eletrônicos, que passarão por perícia técnica.

Investigação de crimes eleitorais

De acordo com a Polícia Federal, o inquérito instaurado apura a prática de crimes eleitorais, com foco principal na corrupção eleitoral.

A legislação proíbe a oferta, promessa ou entrega de qualquer tipo de vantagem a eleitores, seja em dinheiro vivo, bens de consumo ou utensílios em geral, em troca de votos.

A operação deste sábado busca detalhar o funcionamento do esquema na região de Marabá, segundo a PF.

A partir dos materiais e documentos recolhidos, as investigações da PF avançam agora para identificar formalmente os autores do crime, os intermediários e os candidatos beneficiados pela distribuição ilegal de mercadorias.
