The former President of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro has accumulated fines of 1250 million reais in the country's courts, for attacks on the electoral system and for not complying with sanitary measures against covid-19..

A survey carried out by the Brazilian newspaper O Globo revealed that between 2022 and this year the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) imposed fines estimated at 250,000 reais for attacks on the electoral system and electronic ballot boxes in last October's elections, as well as non-compliance with these fines.

According to the Brazilian press, of that amount, Bolsonaro paid only five thousand reais.

In addition, the São Paulo courts are hearing five cases of fines amounting to around one million reais for failing to comply with health measures during the covid-19 pandemic, when he was President of the country.

Meanwhile, another report in the same newspaper says that the current governor of São Paulo and former minister in Bolsonaro's government, Tarcísio de Freitas, intends to take a bill to the São Paulo Legislative Assembly to withdraw and excuse fines imposed during the pandemic, a measure that benefits the former Brazilian president.

Meanwhile, on July 28, the federal anti-money laundering agency released information that former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro has received 17.2 million reais this year in mobile transfers from citizens, companies and political parties, supposedly as donations to pay the fines he owes.

The content of the report by the Financial Activities Control Council (Coaf), revealed by the Folha de S.Paulo newspaper, shows that between January 1 and July 4, Jair Bolsonaro received more than 769,000 transactions through the Pix app, the equivalent of the Portuguese MB Way.

The document, according to the local press, has already been sent by Coaf to the Joint Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry investigating the January 8 attacks by radicals on the headquarters of the three branches of government in Brasilia, with the aim of removing Lula da Silva from the Brazilian presidency.

"During the period, the amount of Pixs received in an atypical and incompatible situation was noteworthy," reads the report, adding that these transactions may be related to the campaign of donations organized by supporters of the former Brazilian president, so that he can pay the most varied fines imposed over the last few years.

Bolsonaro's defense reacted through lawyer Fábio Wajngarten, who said there was no justification for making the data public.

"It is unacceptable to leak the financial secrecy of those being investigated in the 8/1 inquiry or any other confidential investigation. It is necessary to identify who is entering this safe room so that judicial measures can be taken. Those who leaked it will be criminalized," he said.
