Civil Police delegate Paulo Roberto Boberg Barongeno, from the 1st Police District of Ourinhos (SP), is undergoing a disciplinary inquiry and may be punished for appearing at a correction without wearing a suit jacket. The annual inspection was conducted by the director of the Department of Interior Judicial Police (Deinter-4) from Bauru, Licurgo Nunes Costa, and gathered all delegates from the precinct in Ourinhos on August 19, 2010.
According to the inquiry, Costa observed that one of the delegates was wearing jeans, a shirt, and a tie and approached him about the absence of a suit jacket. Barongeno, the delegate in question, stated he did not own a blazer. "The police director, understanding that the delegate was wearing inappropriate attire to participate in a correctional meeting, requested that he dress properly and return," states the report from the 4th Auxiliary Corregedoria of Bauru, which is investigating the case.
Barongeno left the police station and did not return. He is accused of violating police duties, including "acting in public and private life in a manner that dignifies the police function," and "disobeying a superior order." The delegate was summoned to give testimony on February 2nd and must appear accompanied by a lawyer. If the disciplinary infraction is proven, the foreseen punishment can range from a simple warning to temporary suspension from service.

According to the Association of Police Delegates of the State of São Paulo (Adpesp), there is nothing that obliges a delegate to wear a suit jacket. The entity offered legal assistance to the associate. Barongeno confirmed he was summoned to testify but declined to comment.
When contacted, the Deinter director stated that the case is under investigation and any statement should come from the corregedoria. Corregedor delegate Renzo Santi Bardin said the procedure was opened because there was, in theory, an infraction of the Civil Police Organic Law. According to him, the delegate may be acquitted if he proves he did not have the means to wear the required attire for the occasion. Source (Estadão)
