'''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 [[PodemosBrazilian (Brazil)|PodemosSocialist Party]] (PODEPSB), being a [[Brazilian Senate|senator]] for the state of [[Goiás]]. Between 2017 and 2019, he was a [[Councillor|councilor]] of [[Goiânia]], being the most voted in the city in the [[2016 Brazilian municipal elections|2016 election]].

''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. The [[Military Police of Goiás State|Military Police of Goiás]] carried out a search and seizure warrant on Campus 2 of the [[Federal University of Goiás]] to collect copies of the book that were being distributed free of charge. The action caused controversy and official repudiation notes on the part of the university's management, as it was considered truculent and because the Federal University was a territory under the jurisdiction of the Federal Police. Kajuru was prosecuted by the then governor.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Jornalistas esportivos disputam partida acirrada nos tribunais|url=http://www.conjur.com.br/2004-jun-03/jorge_kajuru_lidera_ranking_processos_justica|access-date=2022-02-01|website=Consultor Jurídico|date=3 June 2004 |language=pt-BR}}</ref>

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.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2016-03-04 |title=Última Instância - STJ livra apresentador Jorge Kajuru de dormir em albergue |url=http://ultimainstancia.uol.com.br/conteudo/noticias/31935/stj+livra+apresentador+jorge+kajuru+de+dormir+em+albergue.shtml |access-date=2022-02-01 |website= |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304092334/http://ultimainstancia.uol.com.br/conteudo/noticias/31935/stj+livra+apresentador+jorge+kajuru+de+dormir+em+albergue.shtml |accessarchive-date=20224 March 2016 |url-02-01|websitestatus=web.archive.orgdead}}</ref>

On April 11 and 12, Kajuru published a recorded telephone conversation between himself and President Bolsonaro. 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.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Em áudio gravado por Kajuru, Bolsonaro xinga e ameaça agredir senador Randolfe Rodrigues|url=https://g1.globo.com/politica/noticia/2021/04/12/em-audio-gravado-por-kajuru-bolsonaro-xinga-e-ameaca-agredir-senador-randolfe-rodrigues.ghtml|access-date=2022-02-01|website=G1|date=12 April 2021 |language=pt-br}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Randolfe protocola requerimento para instalação da CPI da Covid|url=https://www12.senado.leg.br/noticias/materias/2021/02/04/randolfe-protocola-requerimento-para-instalacao-da-cpi-da-covid|access-date=2022-02-01|website=Senado Federal|language=pt-br}}</ref>
