The Portuguese Wikipedia does not allow the existence of details on corruption allegations against Portuguese or Brazilian politicians.

There are moderators who take care of cleaning those up, then starting harassment against users who have posted these things.

I've seen one particular page, when a corruption allegation was blown up against a politically connected individual, be set up for permanent deletion (the only way to remove a page so it can't be remade).

They have all the time in the world and its clearly a full time job for them to do this, so its very hard to deal with as an individual editor. Hence the result has been that the Portuguese wikipedia has very little information on the corruption of Portuguese politicians, while the English language is full of it.
