Bolsonaro puts Gustavo Lima’s hideout on his 100-year-secret list

The fee received by country singer Gustavo Lima to participate in a Mega da Verada commercial in 2021 is under 100 years of secrecy by order of President Jair Bolsonaro.

Section 31 of the Access to Information Act provides for a hundred-year confidentiality and is limited to personal data relating to “intimate relationship, private life, honor and image”. The text specifies a hundred years as the maximum period for this type of secrecy—that is, the period could be shorter.
