Bolsonaro Makes Irregular Electoral Donation to Son Carlos in Cash
TSE prohibits contributions in kind above R$ 1,064.10; president deposited R$ 10,000
Oct.8.2020 1:30PM
President Jair Bolsonaro made an irregular cash donation for this year's reelection campaign for his son Carlos Bolsonaro (Republicanos-RJ) to the Rio de Janeiro City Council.
According to data provided by the candidate to the TSE (Superior Electoral Court), the president made a deposit of R$ 10,000 in cash in the account of the councilman's campaign.
The practice, as described, runs counter to TSE's resolution last year on rules for electoral donations. According to the court, cash contributions above R$ 1,064.10 can only be made by bank transfer or crossed and nominal check.
Wanted, the Planalto Palace and the councilman did not comment on the case until the publication of this report.
