Brazilian Chamber Moves to List Eduardo Bolsonaro as Federal Debtor Over Unpaid Absence Charge

The step follows an unpaid R$13,941 charge for four March absences flagged after a TCU recommendation.

Overview

  • The Chamber says procedures are underway to enter his name in Cadin with possible referral to the Union’s active debt roll for collection.
  • The charge covers four unexcused absences in March, before he formally requested leave while residing in the United States.
  • An attempted payroll deduction in March failed for lack of balance, and an individualized GRU sent on August 13 with a September 12 due date went unpaid.
  • The calculation and individualized billing were undertaken after the TCU urged scrutiny of potential improper public funding of his stay abroad.
  • Institutional pressure has intensified as the Ethics Council opened a case that could result in sanctions and Speaker Hugo Motta rejected his nomination to lead the Minority bloc.
