Brazilian Police Delegate's Shocking Discovery During Testimony

Brazilian Federal Police Delegate Unexpectedly Becomes Subject of Investigation During Testimony Brasília, Brazil – June 4, 2025 – In a surprising turn of events, Federal Police delegate Caio Pelim discovered during his testimony before Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes that he was himself under investigation. The revelation occurred within the context of a broader inquiry into alleged irregularities by the Federal Highway Police (PRF) during the second round of the 2022 Brazilian presidential elections. Pelim, who served as director of Combating Organized Crime for the Federal Police in 2022, was initially summoned as a witness. However, the Attorney General's Office (PGR) informed him prior to his testimony that he was a target of the investigation. "I was surprised to learn that I was under investigation," Pelim stated in his testimony, as seen in the video released publicly today. "I was there as a witness, not as a suspect." The investigation centers on allegations of coordinated PRF actions aimed at disrupting voting access in areas supportive of then-candidate Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Pelim's involvement in strategic meetings related to election security has placed him under scrutiny. The release of this video has sparked renewed debate about the 2022 elections and the ongoing investigation into potential election interference. The unexpected revelation underscores the complexities of the case and the ongoing efforts to uncover the full truth.
