Abstract

The present work presents steps in the investigative process of possible embezzlement of public funds in health during the Covid-19 pandemic, specifically in relation to federal resources destined for Brazilian states and municipalities. During the course, the flexibilities occurred in the bidding rules are discussed to make the process more agile in search of saving lives. This is an explanatory research that seeks to investigate possible misconduct by public and private agents. The general objective of the research was to analyze the civil and criminal liability in case of possible confirmation of these deviations and what damages are caused to society due to these illegal conducts. We looked for the roots of corruption and its history over the last few decades in the country. It has been proven that corruption in the political sphere is the basis for all corruptive acts that haunt the development of Brazil in all economic and social areas. The main base tool of the research was the parliamentary CPI established to investigate the facts and complaints. It is concluded that there have been illicit conducts that deserve to be investigated and analyzed by the authorities so that society can be satisfied about the countless lives lost that could have been saved if there had been responsible management at the time of crisis.
