PF conducts operation to investigate financing of film 'Dark Horse', about Jair Bolsonaro

extra10 September 2026 at 11:19

The Federal Police launched on Thursday an operation to investigate the financing of the film Dark Horse, a biopic of former President Jair Bolsonaro. The investigation examines the alleged diversion of parliamentary amendments destined for the making of the cinematographic work.

Agents executed 49 search and seizure warrants, ordered by Minister Flávio Dino, of the Supreme Federal Court. Among the targets are federal Deputy Mário Frias (PL-SP) and businesswoman Karina Gama, from production company Go Up, responsible for the film.

According to the PF, the investigation points to the existence of a criminal organization formed by public and private agents, suspected of directing the received funds to subcontracted companies irregularly, without effective proof of services rendered. The alleged scheme remained in effect until July of this year.

The Federal Police is investigating the crimes of embezzlement, document forgery, money laundering, criminal organization, and bidding crimes related to the case.
