Luiz Henrique
Earlier, Kajuru told CNN that, depending on Lucas Paquetá’s testimony, another player on the Brazilian team could be targeted by the CPI. The senators are considering voting on a request to hear Botafogo striker Luiz Henrique, who was also called up for the next round of qualifiers.
“Now, we think there is no reason to call up Luiz Henrique. First, we have to call on Paquetá. Even more so after what we heard from the businessman yesterday.
Deolane Bezerra
Like Paquetá, Kajuru stated that he must listen to the
The request was approved this week by parliamentarians and, as it is a summons, she is obliged to attend.
Deolane should also be the target of requirements at the BETs CPI, which was authorized by the Senate and should be installed by the end of the month. Party leaders must nominate, within the next ten days, the 11 full members and seven substitutes to make up the panel.
