Vicente Cândido

Vicente Cândido is a former federal deputy from the Workers' Party (PT) in Brazil, known for his involvement in fundraising for political campaigns, particularly for Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in 2022. He was recently mentioned in a news article regarding a plot involving surveillance by the Brazilian Intelligence Agency (ABIN) during the contentious political environment leading up to the elections. His name appeared in the confiscated agenda of General Augusto Heleno, a former minister in Jair Bolsonaro's administration, which raised questions about the motivations behind the monitoring of Cândido, who was compared to a former party treasurer linked to corruption scandals.
