The police identified Santiago Caputo during a checkpoint after the operation in which former president Bolsonaro attempted to flee. The identification occurred at 02:50 a.m., while Caputo was traveling in vehicles belonging to the Binational Entity Yacyretá. Authorities say the control was routine and that Caputo’s presence was recorded in the checkpoint logs. An unnamed advisor to Caputo publicly rejected the police claim, stating that the allegation is false. No further details about possible charges or legal consequences were provided in the report. The incident adds another layer of controversy to the ongoing investigations surrounding Bolsonaro’s departure.
