Author of R$ 1 million transfer to 'Dark Horse', Marcellão remains in Bolsonaro's inner circle of advisors

After the Federal Police pointed to a R$ 1 million transfer made by Marcello Lopes to the production company of the film "Dark Horse", the former campaign strategist remains in the inner circle of advisors to Bolsonaro and maintains daily contact with the PL candidate for President. Marcellão, as he is known, formally left the campaign in May but continued to be consulted by the senator. Lopes said he sees no need to give explanations to Bolsonaro about the episode and stated that the money came from his own funds. The advertising executive is in the United States and told the newspaper on Thursday that he had not yet spoken by phone with Bolsonaro about the PF operation. According to Marcellão, however, the two continue to talk normally. The candidate, for his part, is carrying out a series of agendas in the North, having been in Roraima yesterday and in Amazonas today.
