David Ágape stated that Thiago Trindade Lula da Silva, Lula's grandson, received about R$ 30,000 per month from the lobbyist Roberto Bertholdo, who was convicted for participating in the illegal interception of the phones of then-judge Sergio Moro. According to the journalist, between April and October 2026, Thiago's company T L Innovations issued six invoices to Bertholdo Consult, totaling R$ 182,000. Until July, the service was described as advertising; starting in August, it was described as training. The invoices only described the services as "Services rendered." Ágape also wrote that Bertholdo defended Kalil Bittar, a partner of HarmonyBR, a company for which Thiago stated he developed an application. According to the journalist, Kalil and Thiago's mother appeared together in investigations by the Federal Police regarding school material contracts and access to the Planalto. The journalist also stated that Thiago, his wife, and Bertholdo shared the challenge from Lula for Flávio Bolsonaro to open secrets. According to Ágape, the invoices recorded Thiago's company's only client in 2026. He said that the publication sought responses from those involved but did not receive any. https://t.co/C9kRHrqYiG #Lula #Corrupção #Política (translated)

David Ágape wrote that, after the Band debate, Lula challenged Flávio Bolsonaro to disclose the bank accounts and telephone records of both families, so that the public could know, according to Lula's formulation, "who is the thief." Ágape pointed out three obstacles to the proposal: Lula would have said he did not have a cell phone; the disclosure of the data of the five adult children would depend on their consent; and Lula had been convicted in the Lava Jato under the accusation of concealing ownership of the tríplex in Guarujá. The author said he compared Lula's asset declarations to the TSE from 2018, 2022, and 2026. According to him, the total declared dropped by R$ 2.65 million since the previous election, during which Lula held the presidency. Ágape also stated that he had identified a donation to Lulinha, a business plan linked to LILS — Lula's speaking company which, according to him, received millions from companies investigated in the Lava Jato — and a credit of R$ 179 thousand regarding the share of an apartment in the same building as the tríplex. He also mentioned changes in asset descriptions, loans that stopped appearing, and a house that continued to be declared as "under construction," for the same value reported four years earlier. https://t.co/ETe6EczCQ8 #Lula #LavaJato #Transparência (translated)

David Ágape stated that Alfredo Gaspar, Flávio Bolsonaro's deputy, reported Petistas to the Federal Police, claiming they spread the rumor that Gaspar would be an abuser, even after the Supreme Court dismissed the case. Ágape said that two individuals mentioned in the investigations he was conducting regarding a supposed "parallel cabinet" of Lula during the elections were among the targets of an investigation ordered by the Justice: Brunna Rosa Alfaia, former Secretary of Strategy and Networks of Secom, and Cristianlene de Carvalho, known as Kriska, presented by the Perseu Abramo Foundation as a digital strategist. According to Ágape, material published on October 8 depicted Gaspar as under investigation for sexual crimes against a child. He added that the Supreme Court had dismissed the request to open an inquiry against Gaspar two days prior. https://t.co/qjx15salua #FlávioBolsonaro #Justiça #PolíticaBrasileira (translated)

David Ágape stated that, 25 days after the Lula government suspended betting sites that it had regulated and licensed, illegal houses were still operational. According to him, the government had not taken measures regarding the problem and was focused on trying to get re-elected. Ágape said that the market was regulated in 2023 with the argument of combating illegal betting and protecting bettors. The licensed sites, he stated, went offline starting October 6. He also mentioned a manifestation from the AGU to the STF about the risk of bettors migrating to the illegal market, which, according to estimates he cited, already represented between 38% to 44% or more of the sector. The author claimed that influencers with millions of followers were still promoting illegal betting houses in Instagram stories, despite reports made by A Investigação. He said that no measures had been taken up to that point and that he would continue to monitor the case. https://t.co/1V9t284QDz #ApostasIlegais #Lula #Regulamentação (translated)

David Ágape stated that Alfredo Gaspar, Flávio Bolsonaro's deputy, put the Federal Police behind PT members who, according to him, spread the rumor that Gaspar would be an abuser, after the STF archived the case. Ágape added that two of these people had already appeared in his investigations about Lula's "parallel office" during the elections. https://t.co/qjx15salua #Política #Lula #Justiça (translated)

David Ágape published an investigation into statements made by Roberta Luchsinger in an interview with CNN. According to him, the work examined her questions about contracts with Mota-Engil and the friendship between executive Amauri Pinha and Lulinha. Ágape stated that he detailed Pinha's meetings at DNIT, the Civil House, and the Ministry of Transport, in addition to records of access to Planalto outside of the official schedule. He also claimed to have confirmed that Lulinha and Pinha were neighbors and identified a luxury building in Moema. He described the report as a reference regarding Luchsinger's allegations and said the document could open new avenues for investigations. https://t.co/nHVnWDGYg2 #Investigação #Transparência #Corrupção (translated)

David Ágape claimed that Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva would have used the death of comedian Paulo Gustavo and his mother's mourning to attack Flávio Bolsonaro and gain votes. According to the author, the timeline would dispute this narrative: Paulo Gustavo was 42 years old, was hospitalized on March 13, 2021, and died on May 4. Ágape wrote that there were already vaccines in Brazil at that time, but they were only intended for priority groups. He added that among the countries that were then vaccinating people of the same age group as Paulo Gustavo, there were only small countries like the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Israel. The author said that his report disputed these claims and addressed a connection with Vaza Toga 3 and the case of the WhatsApp messages from businesspeople. He also stated that the documentary associated with the hashtag #ElesPoderiamEstarVivos had been produced by a person infiltrated in the group, whose material reached the hands of the "Witch" and Guilherme Amado. https://t.co/HGcEhlSimq #Lula #PauloGustavo #Pandemia (translated)

David Ágape wrote that the Attorney General of the Union, Jorge Messias, used an official profile with a seal and link to the AGU to campaign for Lula. He stated that Messias followed a direction from André Janones and criticized the conduct as subservient to the president. Ágape said that, about six months earlier, the AGU, then led by Messias, had published a guideline stating that public agents could not use the prestige of their position or institutional visibility to promote candidacies nor confuse personal manifestations with official positions. According to him, the official channels of the AGU were also restricted during the election period. The author recalled that Messias had been nominated by Lula to the Supreme Court but was rejected by the Senate. Ágape stated that this was the first rejection of a presidential nominee to the Court since 1894. He also questioned whether a revelation attributed to the outlet A Investigação would have influenced the rejection: according to the cited report, Messias signed an AGU opinion favorable to aspects of late abortion and later reportedly cried and said he signed without reading. In the end, Ágape stated that Messias would be close to leaving the position and suggested he would return to acting as a messenger for his political group. https://t.co/KMq0Oyg2R9 #Política #Brasil #AGU (translated)

David Ágape wrote that, weeks before the first round of the elections, More in Common Brasil and researchers from UFRJ downloaded and politically categorized about 7,500 broadcasts of masses and services, totaling nearly 14,000 hours of audio. According to him, the church channels were monitored for two months in search of political and electoral references. Ágape stated that the NGO claimed to have used its own resources, but documents indicated that Luminate, an organization funded by Pierre Omidyar, had allocated around R$ 1.3 million to set up the Brazilian operation. He also mentioned Open Society, founded by George Soros, as a supporter of another research project by the branch. According to the author, the cost of monitoring and the source of the resources had not been detailed, and those responsible for the organization did not respond to some questions. https://t.co/MzuOako95t #Eleições2023 #Transparência #Religião (translated)

David Ágape stated that journalists faced conflicts of interest when covering their own employers, especially due to work relationships. He compared this type of conflict to others, such as family ties, friendships, and ideological affinities, and said it also existed in science. According to Ágape, professionals from Metrópoles, Estadão, Folha, and O Globo did not usually publicly criticize their own outlets without permission. He also stated that advertisers could influence, directly or indirectly, the agendas of newspapers. In his assessment, in the model of free news, the product was the readers' attention and the client was the advertiser; he said that the Master case had made this dynamic evident. Ágape defended the existence of various competing outlets and mentioned what he called the "Consortium" during the pandemic. He noted that journalists still had individual responsibility to refuse unethical or illegal orders, but said that this aspect was often ignored in discussions on social media. He also advocated for alternative journalism funded by readers and called for subscriptions to support the outlet A Investigação and its independence. https://t.co/XuG3rvfuLG #Jornalismo #ConflitoDeInteresses #ImprensaIndependente (translated)

David Ágape wrote that, on October 8, during the return trip from Bahrain to the United States, with a stopover in Abu Dhabi, Eduardo Bolsonaro learned of Alexandre de Moraes' order to arrest him and cancel his Brazilian passports. According to Ágape, Eduardo had an Italian passport because he is of Italian descent and passed through the airports without being detained. The author added that Eduardo attributed to Moraes an attempt to arrest him during the trip, possibly through an Interpol alert or a migration route similar to that of Ramagem, but that the strategy did not work. https://t.co/8LKpJTn6xj #EduardoBolsonaro #PolíticaBrasil #Justiça (translated)

David Ágape stated that the ICL had promoted ads against Flávio Bolsonaro on Meta. According to him, an advertisement paid for by Eduardo Moreira, the founder of the institute, told voters that Flávio was "the last candidate" they could vote for. The ad displayed the name of the ICL, and Meta's records indicated Moreira as the payer, Ágape wrote. The author said that the practice was prohibited by the TSE. According to his description, the Electoral Law allowed paid promotion only when contracted by authorized campaign representatives and intended to promote a candidacy or party; a resolution from the court expressly prohibited negative promotion. https://t.co/rb4CRezYol #Eleições2022 #FlávioBolsonaro #TSE (translated)

David Ágape claimed that a tool created to boost Lula removed a warning that there was no source for the accusation that Flávio Bolsonaro would end the Popular Pharmacy Program. According to him, the warning acknowledged that the story circulated “on their side” and disappeared after being published by accounts linked to the project. Ágape stated that the name of the responsible party was removed, the authorship was altered, the public history was rewritten, and the code was closed. He said that the checks continued to be produced internally but were no longer displayed. He also claimed that, on Saturday, the official campaign site for Lula recommended the tool to volunteers. The author stated that the Investigation recovered old versions and changes in the source code. According to Ágape, the material showed a war room that produced and then tried to erase warnings about the lack of sources, eliminated traces, and continued to fuel the circulation of the story, with subsequent approval from Lula's campaign. https://t.co/s9R4iN38Oa #Lula #FakeNews #PolíticaBrazil (translated)

David Ágape stated that, almost a week before the first round, Lula announced the end of the bets, but that the underground game of Tigrinho continued to be active. The author classified the measure as hypocritical and said that Lula's government had sanctioned the online casinos law, licensed the market, and collected R$ 2.55 billion in grants without returning the money. Ágape also challenged the idea that regulation would end clandestineness. According to him, on the first day after the deadline, The Investigation found ads for casinos on Instagram that were not listed by the Treasury. Influencers with up to 11 million followers allegedly directed the public to six underground establishments, some of which accepted deposits via Pix. https://t.co/1V9t284QDz #Lula #Cassinos #Bets (translated)

David Ágape wrote that a security report from OpenAI identified two clandestine influence operations, one Russian and the other Iranian, that allegedly used the company's artificial intelligence to insert content into media outlets. In Brazil, according to him, the document attributed to the Russian operation a comparison between the governments of Jair Bolsonaro and Lula, published by the Social Research Center (SRC) under the guise of research. The article associated Bolsonaro with institutional wear and Lula with the recovery of the country's credibility. Ágape also stated that operators attempted to claim authorship of a report from Poder360. https://t.co/9YgGIZ65w7 #ChatGPT #SegurançaDigital #Desinformação (translated)

David Ágape stated that the PT deputy Ana Elisa deleted her profile on X after controversial posts went viral, but that they had been saved. According to him, Lula's campaign was irritated with the deputy because they believed she harmed the president's image. Ágape said the posts included racist statements, requests for Lula to close churches, and an accusation he classified as false against Flávio Bolsonaro, claiming he wanted to revoke the title of patroness. He also stated that Ana Elisa had expressed support for abortion after the 22nd week of pregnancy, about five and a half months. https://t.co/jtaXPWh4T8 #Política #Lula #AnaElisa (translated)
