Brazil Supreme Court justice unseals probe into Bolsonaro biopic, citing suspected criminal funding
A Brazilian Supreme Court justice announced on Sunday an investigation into the production of a biopic about former President Jair Bolsonaro, alleging that the film's financing may be linked to a criminal network. Justice Flávio Dino cited suspicions that the movie's money had ties to a criminal organization. This development could potentially complicate matters for Sen. Flávio Bolsonaro, who is already under investigation for corruption, money laundering, and tax evasion.
The Sen. Bolsonaro is set to challenge President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in upcoming national elections. The investigation was prompted by the discovery of financial irregularities, including the allocation of public funds for the film's production.
