"A minuta do contrato, datado de 7 de fevereiro de 2024, tem como partes Eduardo Bolsonaro, descrito como 'financiador' do filme e Karina Ferreira da Gama, dona da Go Up Entertainment, como produtora, além da Freeway Cam BV, uma empresa de origem holandesa cujo endereço principal é Budapeste, na Hungria... os produtores da obra buscavam uma maneira de permitir que investidores do filme permanecessem anônimos."
The Intercept reports revealed Flávio Bolsonaro negotiated R$ 134 million with Daniel Vorcaro to finance Dark Horse, of which about R$ 61 million was transferred. In a March 21, 2025 message, Eduardo Bolsonaro instructed Vorcaro to send maximum resources to the US for production, fearing transfer rules would halt the process for months. ?

"Na primeira quinzena de maio, reportagens do The Intercept revelaram que Flávio Bolsonaro negociou diretamente um montante de R$ 134 milhões com Daniel Vorcaro. O recurso milionário foi articulado para bancar a produção cinematográfica. Desse total, cerca de R$ 61 milhões foram repassados"
"A mensagem, datada do dia 21 de março de 2025, foi escrita por Eduardo e encaminhada por Thiago Miranda, fundador e sócio do Portal Leo Dias, para Daniel Vorcaro, dono do Banco Master, atualmente preso preventivamente em Brasília. O ex-deputado diz temer que as regras de envio de recursos travem o processo por meses."
Daniel Vorcaro controls Banco Master — liquidated by the Central Bank in November 2025 — and has been in preventive detention in Brasília since March 2026 in Operation Compliance Zero, on suspicion of financial fraud and money laundering. Lindbergh argues the facts suggest a "transnational resource movement architecture" requiring investigation into the origin and destination of values employed in the project. ✓
