Former Brazilian hacker testifies Bolsonaro sought to hack voting system
In a recent congressional hearing, a Brazilian hacker named Walter Delgatti Neto made stunning claims against former president Jair Bolsonaro. Delgatti testified that Bolsonaro had approached him with a request to hack into the country’s electronic voting system in order to expose alleged vulnerabilities before the 2022 presidential election. While Delgatti provided no evidence to support his claim, his detailed testimony has raised new allegations against the former president.
During the hearing, Delgatti revealed that he had a personal meeting with Bolsonaro at the presidential residence on August 10, 2022. According to Delgatti, he informed the far-right leader that hacking into the electronic voting machines was not possible as they were not connected to the internet.
Bolsonaro’s lawyers have swiftly responded to the allegations, issuing a statement that they will take legal action against Delgatti. They accused him of spreading false information without any evidence to back it up.
These latest developments add to the scrutiny surrounding Jair Bolsonaro, who is already under investigation for his involvement in the riots that took place in Brasilia on January 8. This new testimony has further fueled the ongoing inquiry into his actions during his presidency.
It is crucial to note that no concrete evidence has been presented regarding Bolsonaro’s alleged involvement in any hacking attempts on the electronic voting system. Delgatti’s claims are subject to further investigation and corroboration in order to establish their credibility.
As the investigation progresses, it is expected that more information will come to light, shedding further light on these allegations. The parliamentary commission of inquiry will continue its work to uncover the truth behind these accusations.
It remains to be seen how these revelations will impact Bolsonaro’s political career and the upcoming 2022 presidential election. The allegations raise questions about the integrity of the electoral process in Brazil and the influence of hacking attempts on democratic institutions.
The case underscores the importance of digital security and the need to protect voting systems from potential vulnerabilities. It also highlights the significance of conducting fair and transparent elections, ensuring the trust of the public in the democratic process.
As the investigation unfolds, all parties involved, including Bolsonaro and Delgatti, must cooperate fully to establish the facts and ensure the credibility of Brazil’s electoral system. The truth must prevail, and those responsible for any illegal activities must be held accountable according to the law.
