A group of 47 federal deputies filed this Thursday (26) a criminal representation with the Federal Public Ministry asking for the preventive arrest of Fábio Luís Lula da Silva, known as Lulinha, son of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT). The initiative was led by deputy Rosangela Moro (União Brasil-SP).
In the document sent to the Attorney General’s Office, parliamentarians also request the inclusion of Lulinha’s name in Interpol’s red broadcast and the adoption of extradition measures with Spain.
According to the deputies, he has been in Madrid since 2025, which, in the group’s assessment, would constitute a risk of evasion for countries without an extradition agreement with Brazil.
Operation Without Discount
The request occurs in the context of the investigation into a national scheme of unauthorized associative discounts applied to the benefits of INSS retirees and pensioners. The case is investigated by the Federal Police in the so-called Operation Without Discount.
According to investigators, messages extracted from the cell phone of Antônio Carlos Camilo Antunes, known as “Careca do INSS” and identified as the operator of the scheme, mention the transfer of at least R$300,000 to the “boy’s son”. According to the PF, the reference would be Lulinha.
Camilo Antunes has been imprisoned since September 12, 2025. To date, Fábio Luís is not a formal target of the Federal Police, but appears cited as a possible beneficiary of the alleged scheme, according to the authors of the representation.
Continues after advertising
The deputies maintain that the amounts were paid to “enable and protect the group’s interests at the top of the federal government”.
Breach of confidentiality at CPMI
Also this Thursday (26), the INSS Joint Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry (CPMI) approved the breach of Lulinha’s banking and tax secrecy. The request was presented by the rapporteur, Alfredo Gaspar.
With the decision, the commission will be able to have access to bank statements, financial transactions, Income Tax declarations and the businessman’s contracts. The intention is to check whether there are records compatible with the values mentioned in the investigation.
