He gained notoriety on 2011 after publishing the book A Privataria Tucana, in which he reveals documents about supposed irregularities in privatizations that allegedly occurred during the administration of the PSDB, the former president Fernando Henrique Cardoso and that friends and relatives of the PSDB's ex-presidential candidate José Serra, would have held companies in tax shelters and moved millions of dollars between 1993 and 2003.[11]
