Brazil Lawmaker Allocates R$250M to Institute Tied to Dark Horse Probe

Brazilian federal deputy Bia Kicis allocated R$250 million in parliamentary amendments to an institute linked to pastor Ademar de Sena Sampaio, who is under Federal Police investigation in Operation Dark Horse for alleged misappropriation of amendment funds. The allocation raises questions about oversight of discretionary budget transfers and potential political implications, though no wrongdoing by Kicis has been established.
