Presidential candidate: Brazilian judiciary investigates Bolsonaro's son Flávio
Presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro is being investigated over a film financing deal involving his father. The financier is at the centre of a scandal that has also shaken the Supreme Court.
Brazilian presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro is under investigation by the federal police over the financing of a film about his father, Jair Bolsonaro. The film, "Dark Horse", was financed by Daniel Vorcaro, a former owner of Banco Master, who is being investigated for alleged financial crimes including money laundering and corruption.
The federal police are examining the origin and destination of the funds, around 61 million Real, and Flávio Bolsonaro has been identified as Vorcaro's "direct contact". Flávio Bolsonaro denies any wrongdoing, saying the financing was private. The case has sparked a conflict within the Supreme Court, with judges Alexandre de Moraes and André Mendonça at odds over the use of police reports in the investigation.
