Brazil Deputies Under STF Probe Add US$6.6M in Assets
Nine federal deputies facing Supreme Court probes boosted declared assets by US$6.6 million between elections. A UOL report, published 24 August 2026, compares TSE filings. The post Brazil Deputies Under STF Probe Add US$6.6M in Assets appeared first on The Rio Times .
Nine Brazilian federal deputies are under investigation by the Supreme Federal Court (STF) and increased their declared assets by R$33.9 million (equivalent to US$6.6 million) between the 2022 and 2026 elections, according to a report by UOL. The asset declarations were filed with Brazil's electoral court, the TSE, and were self-reported by the deputies.
The nine deputies span several political parties and represent states such as Rio de Janeiro, Bahia, and Maranhão. The timing of the report is significant, as it coincides with the 2026 election campaign, allowing voters to see changes in politicians' declared wealth over a four-year period. The investigations against these deputies involve suspicions of diverting parliamentary amendments, irregularities in public tenders, and misuse of the parliamentary allowance, all of which are serious allegations.
However, the report does not explicitly state that any of the deputies are guilty of wrongdoing; rather, it highlights the increase in their declared assets during the same period as the investigations.
