Defense of Bolsonaro's son tried four times to transfer investigation from Dino to Mendonça over film

cbn12 September 2026 at 10:36

Minister André Mendonça, of the Supreme Federal Court, released on Friday night (11) the secrecy of more documents in the Master case. The measure was taken after a request from the Attorney General's Office, which argued that releasing only part of the documentation could induce a misguided idea of transparency.

Flávio Bolsonaro, candidate of the PL party for President of the Republic, is investigated by the Federal Police in an inquiry opened to examine the possible practice of crimes related to the financing of the production of the biographical film "Dark Horse," about former President Jair Bolsonaro. The procedure was authorized in July by Minister André Mendonça himself, of the STF, following a request from the Federal Police.

The case also involves other political figures, such as Ciro Nogueira (PP), Cláudio Castro (PL), and Jaques Wagner (PT). The defense of Senator Bolsonaro's son tried four times to transfer the investigation from Minister Flávio Dino to André Mendonça, without success so far.

Why this matters

The Brazilian reader follows a case that directly involves a presidential candidate, with details about attempts by Bolsonaro's son's defense to change the rapporteurship of the process in the STF. The release of the Master case documents may reveal new information about the financing of political films, affecting the electoral landscape. The dispute between STF ministers over case jurisdiction also demonstrates the institutional tensions involved.

Indian prime minister calls on BRICS for a roadmap to reform global governance

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi called at the BRICS summit in New Delhi for a roadmap to reform global governance, arguing that the current structure functions as a pyramid where power and decision-making are concentrated at the top, while affected countries lack the capacity to influence. Modi outlined three axes for reform — representation, responsiveness, and norm-making — and stressed that the reform of the United Nations Security Council "can no longer be postponed," demanding negotiations with set deadlines. India, which holds the rotating presidency of the bloc, sought to position BRICS as a platform for reforming the international system and not as a confrontation alliance, arguing that the Global South should cease being merely a recipient of norms to participate in their development.
