CPMDI Approves Cell Phone Seizure in INSS Investigation

The Special Commission of Inquiry (CPMI) of the National Social Security Institute (INSS) approved on Monday, November 10, 2025, a request to seize the cell phone of businessman Igor Dias Delecrode, a former executive of an association suspected of moving R$ 700 million from pension payments.

Delecrode appeared before the commission to give testimony, but remained largely silent throughout the session.

According to the commission’s president, Senator (Podemos-MG), the seizure was made “to guarantee the integrity of the investigations.” Delecrode, 28 years old, did not provide the password for the device to the Legislative Police. The request is available as a PDF (466 kB). Individuals wishing to receive free alerts can complete the registration form with Poder360, agreeing to the terms of the LGPD.

Under a habeas corpus granted by Justice Gilmar Mendes of the Supreme Federal Court (STF), the businessman refused to answer most of the questions posed by the congressmen. Following this decision, the witness has the option to decline to answer questions he believes could incriminate him.

The rapporteur of the CPMI, Deputy (União Brasil-AL), condemned the Minister’s decision from the STF, but also criticized the other congressmen: “The protection offered by the commission itself is a disgrace. Together, the shielded received R$ 10 million in stolen funds.

These protections prevent us from advancing further in the negotiations.”

The testimony concerns the AASAP (Association of Support for Retired and Pensioners), a company directed by Igor Dias Delecrode, which is being investigated for illegal deductions from benefits and pensions, moving approximately R$ 700 million. Upon beginning his testimony, he refused to sign the statement of truth offered by the commission.

“The silence of this young man is a slap in the face of the Brazilian people,” said the rapporteur. Gaspar also questioned the criteria used by Gilmar Mendes in granting the habeas corpus, stating that a low-income witness would not have the same conditions, but the “businessman chose to mock because he is shielded.”
