In Campo Grande, the Labor Public Ministry (MPT) launched a civil inquiry into Clínica da Alma to evaluate the housing and activities of approximately 130 residents following an inspection by the Public Defender’s Office. Additionally, Campo Grande officials are addressing technical failures and contractual breaches in the municipal public transport system. Following a Parliamentary Inquiry Committee report, the Administrative Council for Economic Defense (Cade) approved the sale of Consórcio Guaicurus to Maas Administração e Participações Ltda., with officials noting that the sale must include fleet renewal investments. In Teresina, the MPT opened an inquiry into Mateus Supermercados regarding potential labor irregularities, specifically focusing on compensation, benefits, rest periods, and transportation requirements. In Várzea Grande, a Gaeco investigation titled Operation Cathedra Venalis is probing alleged corruption within the public transport sector. The inquiry suggests a scheme involving collusion between local council members and União Transporte e Turismo Ltda., where positions and payments were allegedly offered to secure political support. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-21: Investigations target public transport systems in Brazil Investigations in Campo Grande and Várzea Grande reveal corruption allegations and contractual irregularities within municipal public transport systems. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/investigations-target-public-transport-systems-in-brazil ### 2026-10-06: Labor Public Ministry launches investigations in Campo Grande and Teresina The Brazilian Labor Public Ministry has launched investigations into Clínica da Alma in Campo Grande regarding resident welfare and Mateus Supermercados in Teresina regarding labor rights. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/labor-public-ministry-launches-investigations-in-campo-grande-and-teresina --- Cite as: Labor and administrative investigations in Brazil.
