Submission statement: Flávio Bolsonaro is Jair Bolsonaro’s son. Jair is Brazil’s currently jailed former president, and until yesterday his son Flávio was the one most likely to face Lula (and might still be) in the Brazilian presidential election this year.
>Flávio Bolsonaro sought Master funds for film about father
>“What happened was a son seeking private sponsorship for a private film about his own father’s story. Zero public money,” he said.
>The senator also said it was not an illegal negotiation and again defended the creation of a congressional inquiry committee to investigate the Master case in Congress. “I did not offer advantages in return. I did not arrange private meetings outside the official agenda. I did not broker business with the government. I did not receive money or any benefit.”
>The funds were transferred from Entre Investimentos to Havengate Development Fund, based in Texas and legally represented by lawyer Paulo Calixto, who also represents former federal lawmaker Eduardo Bolsonaro, another son of Jair Bolsonaro. The messages indicate that the fund was linked to the production of “Dark Horse,” a film about Jair Bolsonaro’s life.
Article about the leaks themselves! For context, the now-defunct Banco Master is being investigated for financial fraud worth ~US$10 billion.
