"The Superior Electoral Court informs that Flávio Bolsonaro's affiliation with the Missão party was not the result of hacking of the party affiliation system, but rather the misuse of the tool by someone who had the party's credentials to make affiliations", declared the TSE.
After the repercussion of the case, the PL approached the TSE with a request to disaffiliate from Missão. The request is already being analyzed by the court.
The Mission stated that it detected the undue affiliation, but was unable to cancel the act in the TSE system.
"The Missão Party is publicly reporting that it was the victim of an attempted fraudulent membership by Flávio Bolsonaro. Our system, upon noticing the fraud, attempted to cancel the membership on the same day, an action that was rejected by the TSE," the party declared.
