Panorama showed that, in his affidavit of interests, the current Minister of Defense stated that his brother was an economist and that he was engaged in private activities but did not report that he had a company that contracted with State institutions.
The program stressed that it is illegal for a family member of a high-ranking official (such as a Minister of State), to be able to contract with the State.
In addition, it is shown that, according to official records, the minister’s brother has met during the current government with different ministers and even with the then secretary general of the Government Palace, Bruno Pacheco, in October of last year.
