Lira buys horse worth R$200,000 at auction from Wesley Safadão

The president of the Chamber of Deputies, Arthur Lira (PP-AL), won a horse at an auction held by singer Wesley Safadão, this Friday (3), worth R$200,000. The information was released by Estadãothis Saturday (4).

This was not the first time that Lira participated in horse and cattle auctions. The parliamentarian is a cattle and horse breeder, and last month, according to the newspaper, he held an auction of Nelore cattle and made around R$4.3 million. Among the buyers were politicians, members of the Judiciary and businesspeople. Despite this, the Estadão pointed out that the politician did not report owning horses or oxen in the list of assets he sent to the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) for the 2022 elections.

In the national horse racing calendar, it is stated that the next event will be on a property owned by Arthur Lira, in the municipality of Pilar, in Alagoas. The 16th Vaquejada of Parque Arthur Filho is scheduled for December 2nd, when R$200,000 in prizes will be distributed. One of Lira’s sons, Álvaro, is a cowboy and participates in competitions.
