Julio Schneider stated that a report by Andreza Matais from Metrópoles reported that the lobbyist Roberta Luchsinger allegedly used a photo of Fábio Luís Lula da Silva, known as Lulinha, with President Lula, taken during an official trip to Europe in April 2023, to impress businessman Leo Slezynger from Unigel. According to Schneider, Luchsinger presented Lulinha as her partner and was hired to mediate Unigel's interests with Petrobras and BNDES. He added that, according to investigations by the Federal Police mentioned in the report, she received at least R$ 1.26 million between 2023 and 2024. Schneider also wrote that Unigel signed a contract with Petrobras in December 2023, which was later annulled after the TCU pointed out a high risk of loss. Messages released by the report suggested that Luchsinger requested permission to share the photo and suggested that Slezynger invite Lulinha to join the board of an investment fund. He said that the report raised questions about the use of familial relationships with the president to influence business with public companies and classified the case as a criminal organization. #Lula #Lulinha #Corrupção (translated)
