“Our beloved, famous, well-known as ‘Pigeon,’ known on the internet as the baby’s father, Richarlison, who used to play for Fluminense and is now at Tottenham, bought the island for 10 million, and suddenly he saw the island disappear. I’m asking the Federal Police to investigate to find out where the scam took place that robbed the baby’s father of an island he had paid 10 million for.

Earlier, Lula stated that Cleitinho’s only chance of having “construction projects moving forward” in Minas Gerais was for Lula to win the runoff against Flávio Bolsonaro. “If we don’t win, everything that has been invested in Minas Gerais will be halted. This place will become a cemetery of unfinished projects,” he said.
