Brazil’s Flavio Bolsonaro under investigation over alleged corruption
The case could complicate Bolsonaro’s campaign as police examine 61 million reais in alleged illicit film funding, officials said.
- On Friday, Brazil's Supreme Court unsealed a court document confirming an investigation opened in July into Senator Flavio Bolsonaro regarding alleged corruption and money laundering linked to the failed lender Banco Master.
- Justice Andre Mendonca authorized the probe following a Federal Police request pointing to donations by former Banco Master CEO Daniel Vorcaro to finance the biopic 'Dark Horse,' starring Jim Caviezel.
- Brazilian police conducted dozens of raids yesterday targeting film producer Karina Gama and congressman Mario Frias, with court orders banning suspects from leaving Brazil pending the investigation outcome.
- Bolsonaro blasted the probe as 'attempted political interference,' while Frias denounced the investigation as a 'smoke screen' as scrutiny intensifies before the October 4 election.
- Bolsonaro, the leading right-wing challenger to President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, faces the investigation as candidates remain neck-and-neck ahead of the first round of voting on October 4.
