Deputy Alfredo Gaspar Submits DNA After Rape Allegation Involving a Minor

The test could speed official checks on accusations aired during a congressional inquiry.

Overview

  • Gaspar, who posted a video Thursday, provided a DNA sample at the Alagoas state forensics unit and asked for a fast analysis.
  • The move follows claims made in the closing session of the CPMI on the INSS in March that he raped a 13-year-old, that a pregnancy occurred, and that R$400,000 was paid to keep the case quiet.
  • The accusers, Deputy Lindbergh Farias and Senator Soraya Thronicke, sent a request for investigation to the Federal Police and filed a notice with the Prosecutor General’s Office under confidentiality.
  • Gaspar denied wrongdoing, filed a complaint for false accusation now handled by Supreme Court Justice Gilmar Mendes, and posted a paternity test plus a video in which the woman says he is not her father.
  • He called the charge a political “smokescreen” tied to his CPMI report that sought indictments, including of the president’s son, and the case now awaits forensic results and decisions by investigators and prosecutors.
