The Management of the Social Security Fund of Justice (CPJ) is in “litigation” with a group of employees from some justice bodies who illegally call themselves the new management of the CPJ, without respecting legal precepts, the representative said from the Ad-hoc commission, Miriam Machado.
According to the person in charge, who was speaking at a press conference called to clarify misunderstandings that had arisen on behalf of the CPJ and to alert members and the legal profession, she highlighted that the alleged leadership illegally called elections and elected itself as the CPJ Directorate, with empty room, i.e. less than 30 members.
