Fernando Rodrigues, Class of 2008, assembled a database with some 25,000 records of Brazilian politicians showing electoral information and personal data — including the list of personal assets of each politician who run for office in the three past general elections in Brazil.
Through this Web site, voters can check whether a particular politician has increased his patrimony in a compatible way with the declared income. The database has also been an endless source of news stories for media outlets all over Brazil.
