Thousands Line Up at Post Offices After INSS Pension Fraud

Thousands of Brazilians affected by INSS fraud seek help at post offices across the country. Retirees and pensioners are lining up at post office branches nationwide to address wrongful deductions from their benefits. One pensioner, João Alexandre, stated, "I left home at dawn without coffee, without anything, desperate because they suspended the system." The INSS president, Gilberto Waller Jr., explained that the goal is to simplify the process for those affected, and that the INSS will automatically notify the institutions responsible for the fraud within 15 business days. The initiative reflects a proactive response by the government to address the widespread financial hardship caused by the fraud.
