In interview, Flavio Bolsonaro fails to explain destination of funds obtained from Vorcaro and admits brother's mistake in tariff case

In an interview on Jornal Nacional, presidential candidate Flavio Bolsonaro by the PL party failed to explain the destination of the funds obtained from banker Daniel Vorcaro. The senator stated that he did not sign "any contract with anyone" and that he only authorized the use of his image for the film Dark Horse, about the life of his father, President Jair Bolsonaro. "There is nothing wrong with a son seeking money for a film about his father's life," he declared.

In May, audio recordings were revealed of Flavio requesting R$ 61 million from the banker for the film's production. When The Intercept revealed the message exchange with Vorcaro, he asked the production company Go Up for details about the financing transactions.

There is an investigation by the São Paulo Civil Police into alleged embezzlement of parliamentary amendments to an institute linked to the owner of the production company, Karina Ferreira da Gama. In the investigation, supposed accountings about the film were presented.

However, according to the expert hired by the production company, interviewed by g1, he did not have access to the American fund that allegedly received the resources.

Despite the creation of a single command under the direction of Ángel Víctor Torres, the reinforcement of police and military forces, and the acceleration of returns within legal limits, almost a month after the mass arrival, thousands of people continue to be in the city without a clear horizon for resolving their situation. The government acknowledges that normalization will take time and, meanwhile, the perception is growing that the State has not fully regained control.

TSE grants injunction to Garotinho and authorizes ex-governor to resume campaign activities in Rio

TSE minister Floriano de Azevedo Marques granted this Friday an injunction authorizing former governor Anthony Garotinho to resume his campaign activities in Rio de Janeiro. On the previous day, Garotinho had been prevented by the electoral court in Rio from accessing campaign financial resources and from participating in free electoral airtime, due to an alleged ineligibility still under analysis. The TSE minister decided that there should be "at minimum a relevant legal controversy" about the situation of the Republicanos candidate for governor of Rio, and that he should maintain the same campaign conditions as his competitors until the final judgment of his candidacy registration.
