Overview
- Following Monday’s document-based reports, registry records show the couple now holds 17 properties worth R$31.5 million, with R$23.4 million spent in the past five years and recent purchases paid in cash.
- Many transactions ran through Lex Instituto de Estudos Jurídicos, a family company owned by the minister’s wife and children, which under Brazil’s partial community property rules makes assets acquired in marriage common to the couple.
- Standout deals include a 776 m² mansion in Brasília’s Lago Sul bought for R$12 million in August 2025, two units in Campos do Jordão totaling R$8 million, and a São Paulo apartment completed by Pix in March 2026 for R$1.05 million.
- Viviane Barci de Moraes’s law firm reported a three‑year, R$129 million contract with Banco Master that paid R$3.6 million a month, a level specialists said was unusually high for comparable compliance work.
- The reports say the couple has not responded to requests for comment since late March, and they cite transactions that raise ethics concerns, including a 2024 sale to a lawyer with cases at the Supreme Court.
