Brazil's Federal Police carry out operation to investigate illegal use of public money in film about Bolsonaro

CNN Portugal10 September 2026 at 18:20

Brazil's Federal Police is carrying out an operation to investigate the illegal use of public money in a film about former president Jair Bolsonaro. Authorities are investigating possible irregularities in the financing of the cinematographic work.

The film was financed by Daniel Vorcaro, a banker who is currently imprisoned for fraud and corruption. Vorcaro is a central figure in the investigation into the origin of the resources used in the production.

Authorities suspect that far-right congressmen may have allocated state funds for the production of the film. The operation seeks to clarify whether there was improper use of public money in the financing of the cinematographic work.

New social welfare model in Higher Education: strengthen without excluding

The article analyzes the new Regulation for the Award of Scholarships to Higher Education Students approved by the Portuguese Government in May, which adjusts scholarship amounts to students' economic conditions and regional cost of living. The rector of the University of Aveiro warns that preliminary simulations at the institution indicate that around 20% of scholarship recipients analyzed (15 out of 72 cases) could no longer meet the conditions to receive a scholarship under the new rules. Although recognizing that the phased implementation until 2027/28 is positive, he argues that the reform requires a rigorous assessment of its effects, as the success of a social welfare policy is not measured only by the value of support, but also by the ability to ensure that no one is left behind.
