Recently, cops have arrested a senator in Brazil for hiding cash. A Brazilian administrator walked down from his post outlining President Jair Bolsonaro’s government and was ejected from the senate after police ransacked his house and found cash inside the underwear he was wearing. Federal police targeted Roraima state’s Sen.Chico Rodrigues as part of an investigation into the alleged misappropriation of Covid-19 funds, as per the 90-day suspension issued by Luís Roberto Barroso, a justice on Brazil’s Supreme Court.

Police originally found 10,000 reais ($1,780) and $6,000 inside a safe in Rodrigues’ house Wednesday, after which the lawmaker asked if he could go to the bathroom, according to the police report, part of which is included in Barroso’s ruling. As Rodrigues walked away, a police officer noticed a large, rectangular bulge under the senator’s shorts. The report stated, “Found inside his underwear, near his buttocks, were stacks of money that totaled 15,000 reais ($2,675).”

Asked three times whether he had any additional cash stowed, the senator angrily shoved his hand into his underwear to retrieve more stacks of bills, which totaled 17,900 reais ($3,200), according to the report. A subsequent police search turned up another 250 reais ($45) from inside his underwear. There is a video of that search, which Barroso wrote in his ruling he was declining to provide to the senate as it was “well within his (Rodrigues’) intimate clothing″ and could cause ″greater discomfort." Barroso wrote that Rodrigues’ decision to hide the money indicated impropriety and had raised the possibility of decreeing preventative imprisonment. The Senate can vote to reverse the suspension.
