Missão Hands Technical Records to TSE to Probe False Filiation of Flávio Bolsonaro

The party asked judges and police to trace the origin of the unauthorized membership entry because the incident halted candidate registrations and raises questions about who used the Filia tool.

Overview

  • The dispute began when an entry showing senator Flávio Bolsonaro as a Missão member appeared in the Justiça Eleitoral Filia system and briefly blocked his bid to register with the PL, prompting the TSE to call the event a 'uso indevido', restore his PL filiation and pause Filia processing.
  • On Friday Missão filed a formal representation at the TSE and a police report with the Polícia Federal and delivered technical records that the party says include an IP address timestamped August 2 at 9:05 and email delivery and open logs tied to the registration.
  • Missão told the court it tried to cancel the party-side record on August 12 at 9:11 but received an HTTP 403 error denying the action, and the party says it also detected and stopped a separate attempted registration in the name of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva on August 13.
  • Critics including Fernando Holiday have publicly accused Missão of prior knowledge or responsibility for the bogus filiation, while Missão insists it is a victim and seeks provider subpoenas to identify who accessed the account and IP shown in its logs.
  • Investigations are now pending at the TSE and PF, with prosecutors and service providers expected to verify the party's logs and connection records; the outcome could determine criminal responsibility and affect trust in the Filia platform during the candidacy deadline period.
