The possible irregular activities are related to two orders of supply that the investigation would have signed the same day under the scheme of recruitment of small claims, although it added exceeded the limit of small claims. Additionally, orders would have the same object as was the purchase of books with specific requirements for the student population of the municipality, with the only difference that the first order are added other elements.
