Overview

  • Brazil’s Federal Police asked Justice Alexandre de Moraes to authorize an investigation into how an incorrect U.S. entry was attributed to Filipe Martins.
  • U.S. Customs and Border Protection said the inclusion of the wrong record remains under investigation and pledged steps to prevent future discrepancies.
  • PF alleges the entry may have been simulated by abusing special procedures for presidential entourages that do not require in-person processing at the border.
  • The disputed record, together with a passenger list seized from Mauro Cid, had been used to support Martins’ preventive detention in February 2024 before his release under court measures.
  • Martins denies traveling and says he was in Paraná, remains a defendant tied to the ‘minuta golpista,’ and has a trial scheduled for December.
