Federal Police Probe Possible Hidden Partnership Between Lulinha and 'Careca do INSS'

Investigators told the Supreme Court they are assessing converging mentions in testimony, messages and travel data with no evidence yet of direct involvement.

Overview

  • Police informed Justice André Mendonça that they are investigating whether Fábio Luís Lula da Silva acted as a hidden partner of lobbyist Antônio Camilo Antunes in schemes tied to INSS-related business.
  • The case hinges on three evidence streams identified by the PF: a witness deposition, WhatsApp data extracted from seized phones, and airline booking records.
  • In testimony, ex-associate Edson Claro said Antônio Camilo repeatedly called “Fábio Lula” his partner and cited transfers including about 25 million and monthly payments of roughly R$300,000.
  • Seized messages show Camilo ordering a R$300,000 payment to Roberta Luchsinger’s company, described as for the “son of the man,” and investigators also found a handwritten note referencing “CPF – Fábio (filho Lula).”
  • Flight records link tickets for Luchsinger and Lulinha under the same booking codes for 2025 trips, including São Paulo–Brasília and São Paulo–Lisbon, while defenses deny any INSS link and say cannabis-business talks did not advance.
