"Mario Frias who asked, was desperate", says ex-campaign strategist of Flavio about R$ 1 million for Dark Horse

The ex-campaign strategist for Flavio Bolsonaro's presidential campaign, Marcello Lopes, known as Marcellão, transferred R$ 1 million to Go Up Entertainment Ltda., the production company responsible for the film "Dark Horse," inspired by the life of Jair Bolsonaro. The information was revealed by columnist Malu Gaspar and is part of the decision by Supreme Federal Court (STF) Justice Flavio Dino.

Marcello Lopes is a friend of Senator Flavio Bolsonaro and acted as the campaign strategist for his presidential campaign. The amount of R$ 1 million was directed to the company that produced the feature film about the president's life.

The information about the transfer was used as the basis for a court decision that authorized searches at addresses of Federal Deputy Mario Frias and Karina Gama, owner of Go Up Entertainment. Justice Flavio Dino, of the STF, was responsible for authorizing the searches.

The article, originally exclusive for subscribers, detailed the circumstances of the million-dollar transfer and its connection to the cinematographic production about the Bolsonaro family, without providing free access to the complete content.

The candidate for governor of Rio by Republicanos, Anthony Garotinho, was interviewed on Thursday by O GLOBO, Extra, Valor and CBN. In the 1h30 interview, he minimized his rejection and the arrests he suffered, besides blaming Michelle for the non-disclosure of the "night of the Astronauts" video. Garotinho also proposed a "BOPE 2.0" and the creation of subway line 3 with "super ferries", but dodged questions about support for Lula or his son Flavio Bolsonaro, leaving his presidential vote open.
