Jorge Kajuru

Jorge Kajuru Reis da Costa Nasser, better known as Jorge Kajuru (born January 20, 1961) is a sports journalist, broadcaster, television presenter, businessman and Brazilian politician affiliated with the Brazilian Socialist Party (PSB), being a senator for the state of Goiás.

In 2002, the TRE of Goiás determined, in response to the governor's representation, to close the radio station for eight days due to repeated non-compliance with the electoral law.

On June 2, 2004, in a live entry from one of the access gates to the Mineirão Stadium, Kajuru criticized the Government of Minas Gerais and the then governor Aécio Neves after presenting complaints about tickets intended for wheelchair users for the match between Brazil and Argentina that were being passed on to politicians and artists.

In April 2005, the program Fora do Ar premiered, a talk show on SBT with Adriane Galisteu, Cacá Rosset and Hebe Camargo.

During the year, Kajuru was invited to participate in the programs Adnet Ao Vivo, commanded by Marcelo Adnet on MTV Brasil, Pânico na TV, where he presented "Jô Suado" and Hebe, by Hebe Camargo, on Rede TV!.

[1] The following month, Kajuru was fired from TV Esporte Interativo, claiming to have been demanded by José Maria Marin, from CBF and Carlos Nuzman from COB.

When referring to the issues, Kajuru called the two leaders thieves, in the outburst given on social networks, in which he also accused Esporte Interativo of deadbeat.

At the end of June 2014, Kajuru announced his candidacy for the position of Federal Deputy for the state of Goiás.

In 2018, Kajuru ran for the Senate for Goiás, for the "A Change is Now" coalition, led by Ronaldo Caiado (DEM) and Lincoln Tejota (PROS).

In January 2019, Kajuru leaves the PRP after the acronym announces a merger with Patriota and joins the PSB, where he was in 2013.

In July of the same year, the senator announced his departure in common agreement from the legend after voting in favor of the decree.

[3] In August of the same year, Kajuru announces his affiliation to the Patriota as he is aligned with the flexibilization of the carrying and possession of weapons.

The senator stated that he was in doubt between joining the PODE or Cidadania, having asked his friend José Luiz Datena for advice, who advised him to choose the latter.

Dossiê K was a book written by Jorge Kajuru with allegations of corruption in the Government of the State of Goiás, in the administration of the then governor and candidate for reelection Marconi Perillo.

On September 28, 2002, the printing and distribution of the book were prohibited by the TRE de Goiás until the end of the 2002 election period.

In May 2005, he was ordered to pay 100 minimum wages (30,000 reais) as compensation for moral damages to the governor of Goiás, Marconi Perillo.

A definitive conviction weighed against him in a lawsuit brought by Marconi, where he had to serve a sentence of 1 year and 6 months in an open regime for a crime against honor.

[9] Kajuru was also sentenced to one month and five days in open prison for offending the honor of fellow sports journalist Milton Neves.

[13] Kajuru criticized the pension reform proposal, saying it is in surplus and advocating a debt audit to combat spending.

Jorge Kajuru is an enthusiast of digital democracy, consulting polls on his Facebook page for various topics such as his vote for the Senate presidency.

In 2021 Kajuru and Senator Alessandro Vieira filed a writ of mandamus in the STF requesting the opening of a CPI (Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry) to investigate the actions of the federal government in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.

In the audios, the president asked the senator for the COVID-19 CPI to also investigate mayors and governors, as well as for Kajuru to present impeachment requests against STF ministers.

In another part of the conversation, Bolsonaro addressed offenses and threatened senator Randolfe Rodrigues, author of the CPI's request, with aggression.

On November 19, 2019, during a session of the Federal Senate, Kajuru became unwell as a result of a seizure and required immediate hospitalization.
