The São Paulo Court of Justice upheld the acquittal of former São Vicente mayor Luis Claudio Bili Lins da Silva and former finance secretary Wagner Ruiz Rodrigues regarding allegations of administrative improbity. The case centered on the diversion of approximately R$ 2.7 million, which was intended for beach remodeling at Praia do Itararé but used to cover municipal expenses like the public payroll.

The court determined that the diversion did not constitute administrative improbity because there was no proof of specific intent (dolo) to harm the public treasury. Citing Law 14.230/2021, the ruling noted that while funds were used for purposes other than the original agreement, the actions served a primary public interest and lacked the necessary subjective element of bad faith.
