Federal funds embezzlement, money laundering and criminal organization: the PF's suspicions about Mário Frias and film producer about Bolsonaro

extra10 September 2026 at 20:20

The Federal Police suspects that Federal Deputy Mário Frias and businesswoman Karina Ferreira da Gama, producer of the film "Dark Horse" about former president Jair Bolsonaro, committed crimes of diversion of federal public funds, money laundering, criminal organization and document falsification. Both deny irregularities throughout the investigation and did not comment on Thursday.

Supreme Federal Court minister Flávio Dino authorized the execution of 49 search and seizure warrants to investigate an alleged diversion of parliamentary amendments for the production of the film. The investigation was opened by Dino at the end of June, when there were already indicators of crimes such as embezzlement and fraud in bidding procedures.

According to the PF, Mário Frias had seven weapons seized during the operation that investigates the financing of the film "Dark Horse." The suspicions include diversion of federal funds and money laundering associated with the cinematographic production about Bolsonaro.

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.
