Fred Queiroga Pinto

Fred Queiroga Pinto is a Brazilian public servant who was recently appointed as the superintendent of the Companhia de Desenvolvimento dos Vales do São Francisco e Parnaíba (Codevasf) in Paraíba. His appointment raised controversy due to his previous conviction for public fund embezzlement, which resulted in a five-year ban from holding public office. Queiroga's legal troubles stem from his tenure as treasurer in the administration of his father, Dudu Pinto, where he was implicated in fraudulent contracts involving public funds.
