Justice cancels R$ 2 million party in Bahia with Gusttavo Lima show

The Court of Justice of Bahia canceled this Friday (3) the holding of the “16th Banana Festival”, scheduled to take place from June 4 to 13, in the municipality of Teolândia, in the south of the state, after a request from the Public Ministry. Among the concerts contracted, there was the one by singer Gusttavo Lima, who would receive R$ 704 thousand for the presentation.

In the preliminary injunction (provisional and early decision), the MP-BA questioned the expenses of the event, calculated at about R$ 2 million, an amount greater than 40% of health expenditure in the city throughout 2021.

The agency highlights that the amount is close to the R$ 2.3 million received by the City Hall, from the Union, since the decree, on December 26, 2021, of the state of emergency due to the heavy rains in Teolândia.

Four other fees are over R$100,000: Unha Pintada (R$170,000), Adelmário Coelho (R$120,000), Marcynho Sensação (R$110,000) and Kevy Jonny and Banda (R$100,000).

In her decision, Judge Luana Paladino claimed that “it is not possible that the same municipality that reported needing help and resources to safeguard its population from natural catastrophe, even experiencing a state of calamity televised throughout Brazil, announces, in few months, the hiring of artists with fees incompatible with the dimensions, collections, first-rate needs and financial health of the municipality”.

The magistrate also ordered the Electricity Company of the State of Bahia (Coelba) to immediately suspend electricity in the places where the shows would take place.

The bailiffs of this court are authorized to request assistance from the police force to comply with this decision and request electricians from the energy concessionaire for the necessary steps”, says the judge.

Sound devices allocated in the space must also be sealed in order to prevent use.

In case of non-compliance, the municipal management will have to pay a fine corresponding to twice the contract value.
