Reports emerged alleging that Senator Veneziano Vital do Rêgo (MDB-PB) directed R$ 210 million in parliamentary amendments toward expansion works on the BR-230 highway in Paraíba. The allegations suggest that construction consortia involved in these projects sub-contracted companies linked to relatives and partners of the senator’s former and current staff members. Specifically, documentation indicated links between sub-contractors and a former staffer, as well as the staffer’s brother-in-law.

In response to these reports, Senator Vital, who is a reelection candidate, filed a request with the Electoral Justice system for a right of reply. His legal team argues that the reporting practiced “selective omission” and requested that the news outlet publish his full response with equal prominence to the original article.
