PF officials said Oliveira would need to be supervised with the approval of the Superior Court of Justice (STJ). The decision is part of a series of precautionary measures that also include searches and seizures at addresses associated with the former minister.
The operation also includes former INSS president Alessandro Stefanutto, who was arrested this morning, and federal deputy Euclides Pettersen (R-MG), who is also the subject of the search.

The new phase of the investigation directly affects the names that occupied the top positions in INSS and Social Security.
Stefanutto was removed as the institute’s president in April, shortly after the illegal discount scheme for retirement benefits and pensions was discovered, and he was subsequently fired.
The fraud allowed fraudulent related fees to be charged directly to retiree benefits, reducing monthly deposits. This practice affected millions of policyholders.
