The PL presidential candidate, Flavio Bolsonaro, announced that his defense will ask Supreme Court President (STF) Edson Fachin to investigate Minister Flavio Dino for alleged political maneuvering against his candidacy. The statement was made in a livestream on social media on Thursday, hours after the Federal Police launched an operation that targeted, among others, Deputy Mario Frias (PL-SP).
Flavio stated that Dino is "totally suspect" to make decisions about the case involving what he called "the movie about President Bolsonaro." The PL candidate said that the Federal Police action confirms an alert he had been issuing since last week about alleged political interference in the investigations.
The Federal Police operation, whose name is not mentioned in the available excerpt, targeted the Bolsonaro-aligned parliamentarian Mario Frias. This was Flavio's second reaction to the operation on the same day, having made an initial statement earlier during a public event.
