MANAUS – The Union of Civil Police Employees of the State of Amazonas (Sinpol) had its accounts blocked by Justice after an unfavorable decision in a lawsuit filed by health operator Unimed, for non-payment of health plan debts.

The process obtained by CENARIUM MAGAZINE shows the blocking of R$ 1,388,015.28 of Sinpol’s accounts and the attachment of three vehicles of the union, besides the attachment of 40% of the association’s monthly revenue. What may represent the cut in benefits offered by the corporation to registered.

The action started from a debt with Unimed, amounting to R$ 2.7 million, which was questioned by Sinpol by a legal maneuver, which tried to counterclaim the lawsuit. Sinpol lost in the first instance and, on appeal, the judge found that both were wrong and decided that both should pay the court fees.

Bankruptcy fees are the payment made by the losing party to the winning party’s lawyers. In this case, both Unimed and Sinpol must pay the fees. For the corporation, the amount of R$ 900,000 was awarded, which with the non-payment so far reaches R$ 1,388,015.28 blocked in the account.

Denunciation

As denounced the police investigator Daniel Lima, the union members were not warned about the debt and there was no public call for deliberative assembly. “It is a very worrying situation, it is an exorbitant amount”, reported Daniel, who claims that Sinpol did not grant access to the process. “This process is already in the execution phase, so this R$ 1.3 million needs to be paid”.

Daniel still reports that Unimed appealed in higher instances and the association’s debt may reach R $ 2.7 million and if not settled, the charges may lead to pledge the union headquarters, located in the neighborhood Petrópolis, south of Manaus.

“The issue is serious, we have to treat with responsibility, this should not have been hidden from our category. Even the health plan, who has the plan by Sinpol runs the risk of being without the plan”, he said.
