The federal deputy and future Minister of Agriculture, Tereza Cristina rebutted the accusations that she would have granted tax incentives to the cold-storage group JBS, according to a report by Folha de São Paulo newspaper, published last Sunday (18).
According to the report, the deputy would have granted the prosecutors to the JBS when she acted as secretary of agribusiness of Mato Grosso do Sul. In contrast, the Parliamentary Agricultural and Livestock Front (FPA), released a note stating that never received donation from the company and the commercial relationship established between the company and his / her family was done legally.
Today (19), in an interview with CBN radio, the MP said that “the matter was made in such a way as to lead people to understand that there is a non-republican negotiation and this is not true. They are separate and different subjects. “

Regarding the fiscal incentives signed at the time of the State Department of Agriculture, the member complied with the legislation in force and acted in accordance with the government policies established at the time.
