A farra do INSS

The biggest fraud scheme against retirees in Brazilian history – and how it reached the Presidential Palace. Since 2019, millions of Brazilian retirees have had money deducted from their paychecks without ever authorizing it. Today, almost 5 million of them are still entitled to claim reimbursement. In this video, we reconstruct the INSS Scandal: how a decision made within the government itself, 48 hours after a fraud alert, opened the door for corrupt civil servants to divert billions of reais from the pockets of the country's poorest retirees—especially in rural Brazil and our poorest cities. --- Team: Creation and script: Rodrigo da Silva   / rodrigocedasilva   Presentation: Nicole Blank   / nicoleblank_   Production: Mari Pardo @maripardoreal   / maripardoreal   Production direction: Daniela Guaraná https://x.com/danielaguarana Production assistance: Sofia Sá   / sa.sofias   Assistant director: Murilo Biagiotti Direction: Rodrigo Silver   / rodrigo_prata   Edited by: Rafael Arie
