The Public Ministry of Bahia (MP-BA) has taken several administrative and legal actions regarding the fiscal management of Correntina. Initially, the Prosecutor’s Office issued a recommendation to the Correntina City Hall to maintain fiscal and financial equilibrium, specifically advising that the administration must meet targets established in the Budget Guidelines Law before allocating public funds to festivals and events.

Subsequently, the Bahia Court ordered the freezing of assets belonging to former mayor Nilson José Rodrigues, totaling approximately R$ 12.7 million. This measure follows a civil public action by the MP-BA investigating irregularities in the collection and transfer of social security contributions to the Municipal Social Security Institute (Imupre). The investigation alleges that the administration failed to transfer contributions and utilized debt refinancing in a manner that harmed the municipality and the financial stability of the local pension regime for civil servants.
