Allies of São Paulo's Vice Governor Felicio Ramuth (PSD) are accusing certain politicians within Governor Tarcísio de Freitas' base of orchestrating a leak of an investigation where Ramuth is a primary target. This situation is perceived as a politically motivated attempt to remove Ramuth from his position as Tarcísio's vice in the upcoming election. The investigation reportedly originated in Andorra, raising concerns about the integrity of Ramuth's political standing as he seeks to retain his office for the next term.

Ramuth is currently in a competitive race to secure his position, facing challenges not only from within his political circle but also from Deputy André do Prado (PL), who is backed by the president of the PL, Valdemar Costa Neto. This rivalry is further complicated by the ambitions of Gilberto Kassab, the president of Ramuth's own party, who is also vying for the vice gubernatorial position. The internal conflicts signify deeper underlying struggles within the political alliances in São Paulo, adding tension to the upcoming electoral dynamics.

In his defense, Ramuth states that the investigation is merely part of an administrative process and its public unveiling in Brazil is tied to a legal request allowing him to testify about it. He has also mentioned that prior to his entry into public life, he transferred all his company shares to his wife, Vanessa, to mitigate potential conflicts of interest. This announcement appears to be an effort to bolster his credibility amidst increasing scrutiny and speculation regarding his political future and the motivations behind the investigation.
