Understanding that the activity of a customs broker was limited to the logistical management of live cargo, judge Valdirene Ribeiro de Souza Falcão acquitted the professional accused of embezzlement and criminal association. reproduction Acquitted broker did not participate in fraudulent horse import scheme in the interior of São Paulo The dispatcher was denounced by the Public Ministry after an investigation found evidence of fraud worth in the import of horses via Viracopos airport, in Campinas. According to the MPF, many horses imported into the country were worth more than 100 thousand euros, but were declared to the Revenue for much lower values, generally 15 thousand euros. The dispatcher's defense maintained that his work was focused on the logistical management of live cargo, welcoming the animals upon arrival at the airport and providing the necessary care until they were removed from the live cargo terminal.
Therefore, its activity was complementary to the main logistics activity. In view of this, lawyers Augusto Fauvel and Matheus Antonio Firmino , who represented the broker, claimed that their client did not participate in the negotiations to purchase the horses abroad, nor did he complete the import declarations presented to the Tax Authorities and the Ministry of Agriculture. The accused EL Salvador Mobile Number List was also not part of the administrative body of the companies responsible for administration and worked as a freelancer at Viracopos airport, so he did not know who the real importer of the animals was. The judge accepted the defense's arguments and considered that the evidence collected in the case demonstrated robustly that the dispatcher did not commit the crimes for which he was accused by.
This means that, from a certain point of view, the activities developed in the Manaus Free Trade Zone would have been equal to those developed in the rest of the country in relation to the IPI, depriving companies located in the industrial park located in the state of Amazonas of their competitive advantage supported in the tax benefit. Faced with this scenario, the Solidarity Party proposed Direct Action of Unconstitutionality No. 7,153 to question the validity of the reduction in IPI rates implemented by the federal government, defending the thesis that these reductions would be unconstitutional in relation to products manufactured at ZFM that comply with the Processes Basic Products (PPB), according to the provisions of Law No. 8,387/1991.
