Brazil Senate candidate Gayer receives R$400k from bid-rigging accused businessman

Brazilian federal deputy and Senate candidate Gustavo Gayer received over R$400,000 in campaign donations from Rodrigo Gonçalves dos Santos, who accounts for 22% of Gayer's fundraising. Santos is accused by the Pará public prosecutor of paying bribes to rig multimillion-dollar public bids. The donations raise questions about campaign finance integrity and potential political influence, though no formal charges against Gayer have been reported.
