Flavio says information released in breach of secrecy demonstrates there are no irregularities against him

cbn12 September 2026 at 16:46

Flavio Bolsonaro, presidential candidate for PL, defended the breach of secrecy in the investigation into Banco Master during a campaign event on Saturday (12) in Cabo Frio, in the Lagos Region, in Rio de Janeiro. The candidate stated that the information released demonstrates there are no irregularities attributed to him.

Flavio is being investigated by the Federal Police for possible crimes linked to the financing of the production of the film "Dark Horse," a biopic about his father, former President Jair Bolsonaro. The investigation was authorized by Supreme Court Minister Andre Mendonca in July, following a request from the Federal Police itself.

The candidate repeated once again that it is a "private relationship for a private film" and stated that the removal of secrecy prevents the case from continuing to be used against him. He expressed tranquility and said he has always stated there is "absolutely nothing wrong" with this film.

Flavio also stated that the impact of the case on his candidacy is "zero," saying: "Thank God, the secrecy was lifted. Everything is out in the open. I always said there is absolutely nothing wrong with this film. So I am very calm. I think the impact is zero."

Why this matters

The decision to breach secrecy allows Brazilians to evaluate the accusations against a presidential candidate, directly affecting the electoral landscape. The case involves both financial transparency issues and the relationship between the candidate and investigations that could compromise his campaign.

Scrutiny Needed!

A new private Family Health Unit opened in Torres Vedras, concessioned by the State, serving 5,463 users without a family doctor, while 19 similar units are in the process of opening, five in the Algarve. The article questions the transfer of responsibilities from the NHS to private operators, suggesting that the Ministry of Health was unable or unwilling to hire available doctors. It also mentions rumors, denied by the Minister, about the handover of ULS Algarve to the Union of Misericórdias, and warns of a "profound reformulation" of the NHS without the necessary democratic scrutiny, recalling that PSD voted against the creation of the service in 1979 and that a 1982 decree-law on the NHS was declared unconstitutional by the Constitutional Court.
