Augusto Cury (Avante), the Brazilian presidential candidate who declared the largest personal fortune in the race at R$ 242.3 million (approx. $44.8 million USD), failed to include at least five active companies—three of which are based in Florida, USA—on his mandatory asset declaration filed with the Superior Electoral Court (TSE). The omission, which includes both foreign and domestic entities, raises immediate questions about transparency for the high-patrimony candidate as the Brazilian presidential election campaign intensifies. The news, first reported on Saturday, September 5, comes as Cury has seen a recent rise in voter intention polls.
