Brazil's Supreme Court and federal police are investigating senator and presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro for suspected corruption and money laundering. The investigation concerns the financing of the film Dark Horse about his father, former president Jair Bolsonaro, and is taking place just a few weeks before the presidential elections.
According to published court documents, the police began examining the case in July. The Supreme Court subsequently declassified information from the file, which is related to a large-scale fraud case with political and judicial implications. Investigators are examining possible irregularities in securing financing for the film's production.
In May, Flávio Bolsonaro admitted that he had asked banker Daniel Vorcaro for financing. Vorcaro is currently in custody on suspicion of organizing a large-scale fraud. His role in the financial scandal is among the circumstances being examined by Brazilian authorities. NOS ↗
Flávio Bolsonaro is the eldest son of former president Jair Bolsonaro and is running as a right-wing candidate in the October elections. The investigation began during the election campaign, at a time when his name is being linked to the possibility of succeeding his father in the presidential office. Telex ↗
Brazilian authorities have not yet announced the conclusion of the investigation or any possible charges. The presidential elections are scheduled for October 4. The information provided contains no new details about the role of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in this case.
