Brasília - It will not be necessary for the Parliamentary Investigation Commission (CPI) that is investigating a corruption scheme in the Post Office to order officials of the PT to open their bank, tax and telephone records. Yesterday the president of the CPI, senator Delcídio Amaral (PT-MS), received a document authorizing the CPI to inspect the records of the president of the PT, José Genoíno, the ex-treasurer of the PT, Delúbio Soares, the ex-general secretary of the party, Sílvio Pereira, and the former presidential chief of staff (chefe da Casa Civil), deputy José Dirceu (PT-SP).

The document authorizing the CPI to inspect the records arrived just as the CPI was debating whether or not to order the records to be opened.
