Federal Police says diverted INSS pension money helped fund a mansion and farms linked to Senator Weverton Rocha, a Lula government deputy leader. The scheme allegedly used fuel stations, media firms, and family accounts to launder cash. A Brasília mansion was bought with a R$4 million deposit and formalized at R$6 million, below market value. Cash deliveries by private flights reached R$1.5 million each. Rocha denies wrongdoing, calls investigation politically motivated; lawyer Willer Tomaz says he is not a target and that payments to Rocha relatives were declared legal fees.
