Brazilian Association of Investigative Journalism

Released in September 2018, the project consists of a search tool for any public interest lawsuits involving politicians. It indexes thousands of legal cases of public interest and their status.

The initiative is a partnership with Transparency International - Brazil and provides a collection of documents that was updated until 2022 with the automated search of the Supreme Federal Court (STF) and Superior Court of Justice (STJ) databases.

The goal is to help reporters and researchers with journalistic investigations about public office candidates. The project provides easier access to reports and documents attached to these legal proceedings. As an example, Abraji found 781 lawsuits involving 451 candidates for the 2020 municipal elections.
