Fábio Luís Lula da Silva under investigation for influence peddling

Fábio Luís Lula da Silva, known as Lulinha, is under investigation by the Brazilian Federal Police for suspected influence peddling and passive corruption. The investigation, authorized by the Supreme Federal Court, examines whether he used his position to favor lobbyists in dealings related to the Ministry of Health, specifically concerning the authorization of medicinal cannabis and technology sector dealings.

Recent reports highlight that Lulinha’s consulting firm, Synapta SL, recently moved its commercial address to Paseo de la Castellana in Madrid, one of the city’s most expensive and prestigious financial districts. This move contradicts claims made by political figures that he is living in precarious conditions in Spain. The company, which focuses on IT and facility management, has a registered share capital of 3,000 euros.
