Xico Graziano stated that a report by the magazine VEJA about supposed payments linked to Lula had provoked a reaction within the PT. According to him, PT members denied the accusations, said there was no evidence, and echoed a contestation from the Federal Police. In summarizing the report, Graziano said that banker Vorcaro reported having negotiated with João Vaccari Neto, former treasurer of the PT, payments to obtain access to pension funds for federal employees. According to the excerpt of the article he shared, it would amount to R$ 30 million in cash destined for the Lula Institute to fund a documentary about Lula abroad, in addition to another undisclosed amount paid directly to the institute, managed by Paulo Okamotto. Graziano added that Vorcaro had provided details to the Attorney General's Office (PGR), which did not proceed with the case as it deemed there was insufficient evidence. The banker’s defense, according to the account reproduced by the author, mentioned WhatsApp messages and records of withdrawals and deliveries of money. Graziano expressed belief that VEJA would not publish the report without confidence in the material and assessed that the published piece would merely be a preview of new revelations. He considered the story credible, although there might not be definitive proof, and compared the case to the Atibaia site, which, according to him, was not registered in Lula's name in the registry office. In Graziano's view, the report would harm the PT and Lula's campaign, discouraging voters and causing some to give up on voting. He stated that the case would reduce Lula's chances of reversing a defeat in the first round. #Lula #Petismo #VEJA (translated)

The Planet of Football reported that a judge from Rio de Janeiro denied, on the 6th, an appeal from Vasco to play against Boca Juniors at the Maracanã. According to the publication, the decision could still be changed until Saturday, the deadline for the club to indicate the location to Conmebol.

Vasco claimed unequal treatment and selective application of criteria, according to the post. The publication added that the Public Ministry recommended the use of the Maracanã, but the judge considered the recommendation non-binding for the Fla-Flu Consortium and insufficient to replace the contractual, technical, and operational assessments. #Vasco #Maracanã #BocaJuniors (translated)

The author said that Camila summarized the situation as: “I’m not ready, I’m going to leave.” The journalist added that Flávio officially attributed his withdrawal to “censorship” resulting from court decisions.
