About S贸cios do poder
S贸cios do poder cross-references four open Brazilian public datasets: candidacies for the 2026 election declared to the Superior Electoral Court (TSE), the corporate-ownership registry published by the federal tax authority (Receita Federal), contracts published on the National Public Procurement Portal (PNCP), and parliamentary-amendment payments from the Transparency Portal. All four sources are public; the site only links the records by CPF (taxpayer ID) and CNPJ (company ID) to surface signals that still need to be verified against the original source.
How the cross-reference works
TSE reports who is a candidate and their CPF. Receita Federal publishes the corporate ownership registry with the partner's CPF masked, showing only six of the eleven digits; those six digits are matched against the candidate's full legal name, discarding any key that could match more than one candidate. PNCP reports which companies signed contracts with municipalities, states, or the federal government, matched by the eight-digit root of the CNPJ. Amendments follow a separate chain, from the author of the amendment to the final beneficiary of the payment.
What the site does not claim
Nothing here proves a crime, undue influence, or a candidate's involvement in running the company. Being a partner in a company that sells to the public sector is legal and common. The exception is Article 54 of the Brazilian Constitution, which bars sitting federal deputies and senators from holding a contract with a public-law entity or directing a company that benefits from one; that is why only sitting members of Congress are flagged in the methodology.
Who publishes this
The project is maintained by Nikolas de Hor, a full-stack developer and AI engineer based in Goi芒nia, GO, Brazil. The idea of cross-referencing a politician's CPF with company ownership and contracts was inspired by Bruno C茅sar's br/acc project.
