A Federal Police operation was launched in Brazil targeting the financing of the film "Dark Horse" and investigating alleged irregularities involving allies of President Jair Bolsonaro. The operation aims to dismantle an alleged scheme of misappropriation of public funds that would have been used to finance the film production.
Among the targets of the operation is Mário Frias, a former TV Globo actor who currently holds the position of federal deputy for PL in Rio de Janeiro. Frias is known as an ally of President Bolsonaro and his son, Senator Flávio Bolsonaro.
The film "Dark Horse" is a cinematic production that would have received investments questioned by authorities. The investigations point to an alleged scheme that involved the irregular use of public funds in the cultural sector.
The operation represents another chapter in the investigations surrounding allies of the Bolsonaro family. Mário Frias, who also held positions in the federal administration, including the Special Secretary of Culture, is among the names whose assets and accounts will be analyzed as part of the investigations.
