Federal Police Open Probe Into Mentions of Lulinha in INSS Fraud Investigation

The police stressed there is no indication he took part in the INSS fraud.

Overview

  • In a filing to the Supreme Court, investigators said they will examine references to Fábio Luís Lula da Silva as a possible hidden partner of Antônio Camilo Antunes.
  • The filing points to three evidence sets: a deposition from ex-associate Edson Claro, WhatsApp data including a R$300,000 transfer said to be for the “son of the man,” and airline bookings shared by Roberta Luchsinger and Lulinha.
  • Court records detail five payments of R$300,000 from Antunes to Luchsinger’s company, which the police are reviewing for possible benefits to a third party.
  • The PF told Minister André Mendonça it will act independently and cautioned against political interference, citing concern about polarization and the need to avoid injustices.
  • Antunes remains jailed and Luchsinger is under court restrictions, while the INSS CPI signaled it will prioritize summoning Lulinha and President Lula said he would not intervene.
