The presenter and founder of SBT (Brazilian Television System), Silvio Santos, 91 years old, was affiliated with the PT (Workers' Party) after an information leak. Registration for the acronym took place in March 2021, according to information from band.
SBT declared that the affiliation is a fraud and occurred after the businessman's data leak in June 2020. The broadcaster also said that it is taking legal action.
On social media, some users commented on the situation. One of them, whose publication went viral this Friday (April 12, 2024), released an excerpt from Silvio Santos's party membership certificate – which can only be issued with sensitive personal information, such as voter registration number, parents' name and date of birth.
One of the biggest names on Brazilian television, Silvio Santos has also ventured into political life. He tried to run as a candidate for President of the Republic in 1989 for the PFL (Liberal Front Party), but his candidacy was challenged at the time by the Superior Electoral Court.
