Brazil's Federal Police Raid Targets AI 'Deepnudes' of Lawmakers, Nazi Glorification

Overview

• Operation Rosa Branca was conducted on November 19 in Lajeado, Rio Grande do Sul, focusing on racist content and violations of sexual privacy involving federal legislators.
• Agents carried out two search-and-seizure warrants and one personal search under orders from the 5th Federal Court in Caxias do Sul.
• Investigators say suspects used artificial intelligence to fabricate explicit images of deputies and senators and distributed the content online.
• Profiles tied to the targets displayed Nazi symbolism and posts promoting racial superiority, and officers seized materials including magazines featuring Adolf Hitler and books on Nazism.
• The inquiry began after the Senate’s Legislative Police detected unlawful posts, and with identities withheld the investigation continues as potential charges for racial discrimination and unlawful exposure of sexual intimacy are assessed.
