'Dark Horse': Dino removes secrecy from São Paulo police material about film financing

BBC News Brasil13 September 2026 at 15:23

Supreme Court (STF) Minister Flavio Dino removed the secrecy from documents from the São Paulo Civil Police related to the financing of the film "Dark Horse" (Battle Horse). The decision allows public access to materials that were under investigation secrecy.

Among the targets of the investigation are Federal Deputy Mario Frias (PL-SP), who acted as executive producer of the film, and Karina Gama, owner of the production company responsible for the cinematographic work.

The case is under Dino's rapporteurship at the STF and involves investigations into how the production's financing was done, with possible irregularities involving public resources used in the project.

The removal of secrecy now allows journalists and society access to the documents that are part of the investigation into the film's financing, increasing the transparency of a case that involves figures linked to the legislative power.

Why this matters

The removal of secrecy allows public access to details of an investigation involving a federal parliamentarian, which may impact Mário Frias's political sphere and raise questions about the use of public resources in film productions. The transfer of the case to the STF indicates that the investigation may reach a higher level of scrutiny.
