Jacqueline Tirotti, a criminal expert known for her involvement in high-profile cases, has recently joined the newly formed party, Missão, by the Movimento Brasil Livre (Free Brazil Movement). Tirotti's decision comes after her work on analyzing an alleged sexual video involving Father Julio Lancellotti, a religious figure who has consistently denied any wrongdoing, claiming he is a victim of a conspiracy. The political implications of this video unfolded in 2024, with right-wing political actors capitalizing on the scandal to further their agendas.

During her examination of the video, Tirotti initially claimed the footage appeared authentic, but subsequent analyses suggested that it was fabricated. In the aftermath, the São Paulo Archdiocese conducted an investigation into the matter but ultimately dismissed it, citing insufficient evidence to support the authenticity of the images. This controversy has put both Tirotti and Lancellotti under public scrutiny, highlighting the intersection of politics, media, and ethics in Brazilian society.

In a recent statement on social media, Tirotti expressed her hesitations about entering the political sphere due to fears that her visibility could affect her forensic career. She mentioned the challenge of balancing her professional integrity and her political ambitions, ultimately deciding to take the plunge and embrace this new role. Her involvement with a right-leaning party indicates the growing influence of political movements in Brazil that blend personal and public narratives, especially when sensational issues arise like those involving prominent public figures.
