9 Feb 2023 a Brazilian carmakerBrazilian carmaker: BRL 22.4m over misused cultural sponsorship funding €3.99m
The Controladoria-Geral da União (CGU, Office of the Comptroller General) set a fine of BRL 22,423,482.15 against a carmaker in an early resolution procedure (julgamento antecipado) under the cultural incentive law (Lei nº 8.313/1991) and the Anti-Corruption Law. The carmaker had sponsored with BRL 1,000,000 a concert project funded through the National Culture Support Programme (Pronac), which was turned, without the consent of the Ministry of Culture, into a corporate party for the company's 60th anniversary that was not open to the public; according to the final report, false information was given in the project accounts. A separate decision issued the same day fined the project's proponent BRL 2,940,317.28.
Sponsorship backed by state tax incentives must serve exactly the approved project purpose; redirecting it to the company's own corporate events can be sanctioned as an offence by the sponsor itself.
