Allegations concerning church financing and broadcasting expansion
The Federal Public Prosecutor's Office criticized rapid station acquisitions associated with the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God and alleged that Grupo Record was used in Edir Macedo's business interests through the diversion of donations to offshore companies and money laundering. The cited source says the allegations did not lead to a trial, citing tax immunity and the timing of the alleged conduct in relation to the legal definition of money laundering.
