A Brazilian hacker claimed that Jair Bolsonaro wanted him to hack into the country\u0027s electronic voting system to expose its alleged weaknesses.
The lawyers acknowledged the hacker met with the former president and said the far-right leader ordered his defence minister to open investigations on the country’s electoral system based on claims he had heard from the hacker.
Delgatti said Bolsonaro wanted the attempted hack to show voters that Brazil’s voting system was not reliable. Delgatti said he met with Ministry of Defence technical experts to discuss the electronic voting system on five occasions. The first time, he said, was right after meeting with Bolsonaro, when he was driven from the presidential residence to the Ministry of Defence, entering through the back entrance.
Delgatti, who rose to fame in 2019 for leaking messages from several prosecutors involved in an anti-corruption probe that put dozens of top politicians and businessmen behind bars, told the commission that he spoke to Bolsonaro one more time, over the phone.Article content Delgatti said Bolsonaro promised him a presidential pardon in case he ended up being investigated for his actions.In 2015, Delegatti was jailed for lying about being a federal police investigator. Two years later, he was investigated for allegedly forging documents, which he denies. Several people have also accused him of embezzlement — allegations that resurfaced during Thursday’s hearing.
