Marcelo Furtado

Marcelo Furtado is a Brazilian intelligence official who recently made headlines due to his involvement in the controversial operations of the Agência Brasileira de Inteligência (Abin), where he served as the director of the Department of Operations. He was implicated in the investigations concerning the 'Abin Paralela' case, which revealed that the agency engaged in illegal monitoring activities and produced unauthorized dossiers targeting officials and public figures. Furtado's actions, along with those of others in the agency, are said to have obstructed investigations and contributed to a broader narrative of political espionage during the previous government.
