Luiz Fernando Corrêa
Luiz Fernando Corrêa is the current director of the Brazilian Intelligence Agency (Abin), having taken office under President Lula da Silva's administration. He has been in the news due to allegations that Abin orchestrated a hacking operation against Paraguayan government officials to gather confidential information regarding negotiations for the Itaipú hydroelectric power plant. This operation, which reportedly began during the previous administration of Jair Bolsonaro, raises questions about the legality of intelligence activities conducted against foreign governments.
