Flávio Bolsonaro Agrees to Disclosure Proposed by Lula, and Brazil's Presidential Candidates Sign Agreement - Folha de S.Paulo

Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) and Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL), son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, signed an agreement on Thursday (22) at the headquarters of the country’s electoral court to mutually waive the confidentiality of their banking, tax and phone records. The two are competing in the runoff of the country’s presidential election.

Proposed by Lula during the latest debate, the agreement includes relatives of both candidates, and the data must be released by the end of the day. Lula signed the agreement in person, while Flávio signed by proxy through his lawyer, Maria Claudia Buchianeri.

"President Lula’s was signed by Lula himself because he has always defended transparency regarding his records," says Edinho Silva, president of Lula’s PT party.

The senator’s representative requested a period longer than the eight years covered by Lula’s petition, as well as records of entries and exits at the Alvorada and Planalto palaces.

"If we confirm that he provided everything that could compromise him, we will immediately provide ours," she says.
