Brazil’s Bolsonaro Sets Terms for Records Release After Lula’s Disclosure Challenge
Bolsonaro’s campaign said it would release records only if Lula expands his pledge to include advisers, security staff and companies tied to his children.
- On Wednesday, Senator Flavio Bolsonaro conditioned the release of his bank, tax, and telephone records on President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva expanding his transparency pledge to include advisers, security staff, and companies held by Lula's children.
- Lula's campaign submitted a document to Brazil's electoral court on Tuesday authorizing release of his family's records if Bolsonaro reciprocated, a move amid an explosive corruption scandal involving disgraced banker Daniel Vorcaro.
- Bolsonaro's campaign specifically demanded three categories of disclosure: the president's advisers, security staff, and records from companies held by Lula's children, shifting transparency pressure back to the incumbent.
- Camilo Santana, a senator and representative for Lula's campaign, told journalists that Lula agreed to the new demands, with an official court filing scheduled for Thursday morning.
- With Sunday's runoff election approaching, the Supreme Court continues investigating both candidates' families for alleged influence peddling and money laundering, making financial transparency a central campaign weapon in the final days.
