247 - Four days after the revelation, by a report from Folha de S. PauloAfter reports surfaced that Marina Silva's speaking engagement company had registered revenues of R$ 1,6 million between March 2011 and May 2014, the PSB candidate submitted a correction to the Electoral Court to rectify her asset declaration.

According to information released today by the newspaper, the presidential candidate added R$ 45,6 to her assets, invested in savings and fixed income at HSBC. This amount represents one-third of what she had previously declared, at the beginning of July, as her total assets. Her net worth now rises from R$ 135 to R$ 181.

The correction was requested by Marina on the same day that the intention of President Dilma Rousseff's PT campaign to ask the Public Prosecutor's Office to investigate the concealment of the candidate's assets, based on her company's revenue, was revealed in the press.

According to Marina's campaign lawyer, Ricardo Penteado, what happened was an oversight in the initial declaration made to the Electoral Court. He stated that the amounts are all included in the candidate's income tax return.
