Flavio Bolsonaro's campaign strategy to try to shield itself from Dino in the Dark Horse case

oglobo10 September 2026 at 08:00

Flavio Bolsonaro's campaign (PL) is acting to try to shield itself from potential actions by Minister Flavio Dino in the "Dark Horse" case. The main concern is that the ongoing crisis in the Supreme Court (STF) could bring negative consequences for the presidential candidate.

Minister Flavio Dino is the rapporteur of one of the investigations into the "Dark Horse" case, which involves a film inspired by Jair Bolsonaro. The investigation examines whether public money and parliamentary amendments were used in the film's production.

The campaign strategy seeks to protect the candidate from possible developments in the case, considering Dino's position as rapporteur at the STF and the direction of the crisis in the Brazilian Supreme Court.

STF decides next week whether to investigate Minister Moraes over messages with Vorcaro

The Supreme Federal Court scheduled an extraordinary session for Tuesday (15) to decide whether to open an investigation against Minister Alexandre de Moraes due to messages exchanged with banker Daniel Vorcaro. The Court president took several measures to contain the internal crisis, including removing Moraes from the fake news inquiry rapporteurship, blocking opposing decisions by Ministers André Mendonça and Flávio Dino, and maintaining Andrei Rodrigues as head of the Federal Police. The court will analyze the validity of the PF report and the Attorney General's office statement, which considered the document null. With Barroso's retirement still without a replacement, the STF operates with ten ministers, and legal scholars recommend that the magistrates directly involved abstain from the judgment.
