Brazil’s Lula challenges Flavio Bolsonaro to make financial records public
Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said he would authorise the release of his own bank, tax and telephone records, as well as those of his family, if his election rival did the same.
Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has challenged his right-wing opponent Flavio Bolsonaro to release their bank, tax and telephone records, following allegations of corruption and money laundering linked to Flavio's father, the now-defunct lender Banco Master. Lula pledged to disclose his personal and family records to the Brazilian electoral court, contingent upon Bolsonaro's compliance.
The disclosure of both candidates' financial information prior to the election is deemed crucial for ensuring informed voting decisions by the Brazilian public. Flavio Bolsonaro is currently under investigation for alleged corruption and money laundering connected to Banco Master's largest fraud case, as well as a separate bankruptcy probe.
Lula, seeking to challenge Bolsonaro, stated, "I want to see whether he has the courage to disclose his bank and phone records."
