Brazil: Flavio Bolsonaro faces corruption probe weeks before election
Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, Lula's top rival in next month's election, is under investigation for alleged corruption linked to financing a biopic about his father, former President Jair Bolsonaro.
Flavio Bolsonaro, son of former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro, is facing a corruption investigation that has impacted his presidential campaign, according to a court document released on September 12. The investigation, which began in July, centers around possible crimes related to the financing of a film about his father's life.
Over a dozen raids were conducted earlier in the week, targeting the company behind the film, Dark Horse, as well as several individuals involved in the project. Flavio Bolsonaro maintains his innocence, stating that the film is legal. The investigation has raised questions about the integrity of his campaign and the broader political landscape as voters head to the polls on October 4.
The outcome of the probe could influence the election, particularly among voters with less defined preferences.
