Brazil’s Bolsonaro sets terms for records release after Lula’s disclosure challenge
Bolsonaro said he will release bank, tax and phone records only if Lula expands his disclosure pledge to include aides and family-linked companies.
- On Wednesday, Senator Flavio Bolsonaro imposed conditions to disclose his bank, tax, and telephone records after President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva challenged him ahead of Sunday's election runoff.
- Brazil's Supreme Court is investigating Fabio Luis Lula da Silva for alleged corruption and influence peddling, while Flavio faces separate probes regarding money laundering linked to a film about his father, Jair Bolsonaro.
- Camilo Santana, a senator representing the president's campaign, told journalists on Thursday that Lula agreed to the new demands and the campaign would file an official response with the court.
- Flavio's campaign requested that Lula expand his pledge to include records for advisors, security staff, and companies held by the president's children, broadening the disclosure scope significantly.
- Both candidates deny wrongdoing as the runoff nears. Lula stated his son will be treated like any other citizen, while Flavio acknowledged seeking funding but denies any impropriety.
