4619 - STF
Subject: Investigado por apropriação indébita de valores da Confederação Nacional dos Transportes. O inquérito foi instaurado para apurar movimentação financeira suspeita ocorrida no âmbito da CNT, revelada por Alexandre Romano em acordo de colaboração premiada firmado com MPF. A PGR ofereceu denúncia contra Odair e mais três pessoas, entre elas Romano. De acordo com o parquet Federal que nos meses de outubro e novembro do ano de 2013, o diretor da CNT, Aristides França Neto, com anuência do presidente, Clésio Soares De Andrade e, em unidade de desígnios e comunhão de esforços com Alexandre Romano, apropriou-se de valores da referida entidade e os desviou em benefício do deputado Federal Odair da Cunha. A 1ª turma do STF remeteu o inquérito à 1ª instância. De acordo com o ministro Fux, os fatos não estão relacionados ao exercício do mandato, razão pela qual não incide a competência constitucional do STF para seu processo e julgamento.
