Brazil spent R $ 63.1 billion in Defense in 2017, of which R $ 22.6 billion with military salaries

Highest monthly payment in 2017 was to a lieutenant already reported for misappropriation of assets

Embraer paid more than R $ 433,000 in the year to a single officer

Most of the federal government's civil servants are military: in the Executive, every three servants, one is linked to the Armed Forces. In addition, among all ministries, Defense is the most employed: 395,667 servers, which puts it ahead of the Ministry of Education, with 302,938; and well above Health, with 33,476.

The amount of military reflected in the budget. In 2017, R $ 22.6 billion was spent on the remuneration of military civil servants, out of a total of 63.1 billion that the country employed in Defense.

In an unpublished survey based on data from the Transparency Portal, Público dismembered more than 4.4 million records of payments to the military and found that several of them exceeded the constitutional ceiling of the functionalism of R $ 33.7 thousand per month.

Last year, 713 monthly salaries of members of the Armed Forces stood above this ceiling. The calculation already considers tax rebates such as Income, payments for the military pension fund and health, as well as the application of the abate-ceto, which, in theory, should limit income above the constitutional limit.

Wanted by the report, the Ministry of Defense did not respond until publication because these remunerations exceeded the constitutional ceiling.

The largest single payment made by the Armed Forces in 2017 was Lieutenant Colonel Erivam Paulo da Silva, who pocketed more than R $ 226,000 in October. Transparency Portal data only specifies that these are late payments. The military man had been denounced in 2010 for participating in a gang that diverted assets seized by the IRS during the Pilantropia operation.

At the time of the accusations, three federal officials, two businessmen, a customs broker and a merchant were arrested. The lawsuit, which is currently being heard by the Regional Court of the 2nd Region, acquitted the military officer in 2016, but the last pieces of proceedings are not yet public. Attempted, the court's advice informed that the piece with the last decision on the embargoes of declaration was not published. The Ministry of Defense and the Army Command were searched for the report to take a stand on the case, but did not respond.

According to the Public, there are cases of military personnel who received over-the-counter payments for several months in 2017. Major Air Force Dilton José Schuck, secretary of Defense and National Security Affairs of the Presidency of the Republic, received in four months amounts above of R $ 33.7 thousand. In all, he pocketed R $ 375,000 in the year. According to the Transparency Portal, the amounts are due to late payments.

Wanted, the Ministry of Defense did not explain why amounts paid in arrears exceeded the constitutional ceiling, although there is the mechanism of "slaughter."

Indemnity sums exceed R $ 100,000 in the month

In addition to regular remuneration and arrears, which are susceptible to taxes and rebates, the military receives indemnity funds - such as food aid and transportation - that are not subject to the ceiling of functionalism.

In 2017, the Armed Forces paid more than $ 2 billion in indemnity funds to all its military.

Only Army colonel Ricardo dos Santos Nogueira received R $ 189,000 in indemnification funds. In March, more than R $ 105,000 was paid to the officer under the transfer justification. In December, the same military received more than R $ 70,000 again in indemnity funds.

Acting in public companies earns millionaire payments to the military

Apart from indemnity funds, the Army, Navy and Aeronautics also pay the so-called jetons, which are payments for the participation of the military as their representatives in companies or councils of the Union, such as the Brazilian Aeronautics Company (Embraer).

Last year, the Armed Forces disbursed $ 797,000 in jetons. More than half of this figure was for the secretary of Economy, Finance and Administration of Aeronautics, Air Lieutenant Brigadier José Magno Resende de Araújo, who received R $ 433,000 in payments from Embraer.

Araújo, who is an effective member of Embraer's Board of Directors, received 11 payments from the company in 2017, all of them above R $ 37 thousand per month, not counting the usual compensation paid by Aeronáutica of more than R $ 19.6 thousand monthly.

The Aeronáutica explained that the payments are foreseen by law, as it is the remuneration to the government representative on the board of Embraer, elected at the general meeting on April 12, 2017 for a term of two years.

Apart from Embraer, public companies such as the Brazilian Armaments Industry (Imbel), the Marine Project Management Company (Emgepron) and the Amazônia Azul Defense Technologies (Amazul) also paid the military in 2017.

Armed Forces pay millionaires salaries, but only for high patents

Summing up, compensation, indemnity funds and jetons led to more than R $ 19.9 billion in payments to the military in 2017, already discounting taxes and deductions. However, the distribution of these values among officials is uneven.

The highest compensation of all is precisely the lieutenant-brigadeiro Araújo, who earned more than R $ 704 thousand in the year, adding up to the three forms of payment. This amount represents an average of R $ 58,600 per month (including the payment of the 13th salary)

The highest annual salary of the Navy-soldier does not reach R $ 49,000 per year, or about R $ 4,000 per month.

The average remuneration also varies: while the annual average of the lieutenant-brigadeiro is R $ 315 thousand (R $ 26,25 thousand per month), the soldier-recruiter of the Navy is R $ 9.4 thousand 783 per month).

Outside, military cost more than half a billion

Apart from the remunerations to military personnel operating in the national territory, the Armed Forces pay values in dollars to officers in operation abroad. Altogether, these military men received $ 183 million last year, equivalent to $ 585.6 million.

Is there a "gender ideology"?

In an interview to the Public, the doctor in Education Jimena Furlani, who developed extensive research on the subject, explains the misconceptions of the concept

According to Public assessment, the highest remuneration in 2017 was paid to the Brazilian military attache in Angola and São Tomé and Príncipe, Claudio Henrique da Silva Plácido, who pocketed US $ 464,000 in salaries and indemnities, discounted taxes and rebates. In reais, the compensation would exceed R $ 1.4 million (considering the average value of the dollar in 2017 of R $ 3.20)

An attaché is an officer who does security and monitors the activities of Brazilian diplomatic delegations. According to the Transparency Portal, Brazil currently has 123 adidas and auxiliary staff in more than 40 countries.

Public sought the Brazilian embassy in Angola, but received no response until the report was published. The Itamaraty replied that compensation of military personnel should be dealt with the Ministry of Defense, which has not responded so far.

Military pensions are black boxes and cost 80% of personnel expenses.

In addition to payments to active military personnel, the Armed Forces directs much of the budget to retired retired officers or relatives of deceased military personnel.

According to data from the Ministry of Planning, in 2016, each real spent on military assets, R $ 0.80 was spent on pension beneficiaries.

Alone, pensioners in the Armed Forces annually cost almost twice the total expenditure on federal legislative staff, including assets, retirees, and pensioners. Spending on military pensioners is so high that this group accounts for 6% of all federal government spending with staff.

Part of the cost with pensioners of the Armed Forces is due to unmarried daughters of the military, a situation similar to that which occurs with the heirs of the Judiciary - as Public showed in this report. The lifetime pension for single daughters of military personnel has been extinguished for officers who joined after 2001. However, the benefit can be maintained if the official pays an additional 1.5% in the social security contribution.

Although it deals with public resources, the individual list of pensioners of the Armed Forces is not disclosed. The Ministry of Defense denied the request made by Public Access Law (LAI), alleging that the publication of this data is personal secrecy.

In previous requests for information, the Armed Forces simply reported that there are currently about 110,000 daughters of military personnel receiving life annuities.
