From the last 7 past presidents of Brazil, Lula da Silva He is imprisoned with two convictions against him, Michel Temer He is being tried and has been placed in pre-trial detention (he has already been released on the basis of habeas corpus), Dilma Rousseff is being investigated for the sale of the Pasadena Refinery in the United States and a son of the current president and Jair Bolsonaro – of the scandal that surrounded his son Flavio – are the subject of an investigation for deposits inconsistent with his salary.

And the Arrepentido law allowed former ministers to confess their crimes, which complicated the task of the former presidents.

The non-existence of the "List of Veil" as an electoral medium has prevented a large number of people under investigation from occupying seats in Congress (while they should occupy cells in federal prisons) and, finally, a Supreme Court ruling has determined that the "privileged forum" does not apply to previous investigations the term of office of legislators.
