Flavio asks Dino for full lifting of secrecy in Dark Horse case

oglobo14 September 2026 at 16:38

Senator and presidential candidate Flavio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) asked Minister Flavio Dino, of the Supreme Federal Court (STF), for the complete lifting of secrecy on the case files dealing with the financing of the film "Dark Horse," which tells the story of former President Jair Bolsonaro. The senator's defense filed a motion on Monday requesting that all investigative material proceed without secrecy.

In the petition, the lawyers argue that the partial disclosure determined by Dino produces an "incomplete photograph" of the investigation and may fuel selective accounts about the case. According to the defense, the current measure does not cover all documents related to the inquiry.

Dino had determined last Sunday that all material received from the São Paulo Court in connection with Petition 16,669 proceed with public access. However, the defense states that this determination covered only part of the entire investigation.

The lawyers now request that the same public access treatment be extended to Petition 16,070, which gave rise to the case, and to the portion of Petition 16,669 that did not come from the São Paulo court. With this, they seek to ensure that all documentation regarding the financing of the film "Dark Horse" is accessible to the public.

Why this matters

The decision may directly affect the political image of Jair Bolsonaro and his son Flavio Bolsonaro, both central figures in Brazilian politics, as the investigation into the film's financing may reveal embarrassing details or evidence relevant to future electoral disputes. The case is of interest to readers following the investigations involving the Bolsonaro family and the functioning of the Brazilian judicial system.

Court gives reason to Passinha residents: Alenquer City Hall has 10 days to ban trucks at night

The Administrative Court of Lisbon Circle gave reason to the residents of Rua dos Bons Amigos, in Passinha, in Alenquer, condemning the City Council to prohibit the circulation of heavy vehicles during the nighttime period within 10 days. The sentence considers it proven that more than 300 trucks cross that street daily to access the Santos e Vale logistics center, a number much higher than the 26 vehicles estimated in the 2016 traffic study. The court found the damages to homes and health effects on residents, including sleep deprivation, to be demonstrated, and considered that the municipality never monitored traffic nor took measures to limit circulation. The total ban was not ordered because no alternative route was proven to exist, but the mayor, João Nicolau, may be personally condemned to daily fines if he does not comply with the decision. The municipality and Santos e Vale were also condemned to pay the costs of the process and may appeal.
