"A Polícia Federal enviou à Procuradoria-Geral da República (PGR) um parecer favorável à abertura de investigação contra o senador Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) pelo episódio em que ele solicitou recursos ao ex-banqueiro Daniel Vorcaro para financiar o filme "Dark Horse", sobre a trajetória do ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro."
As it involves a senator of the Republic, the opinion was forwarded to the Attorney General's Office for analysis of the facts. The opening of an investigation, if authorized, depends on approval from the Supreme Federal Court, with expectations that the case will be reported by Justice André Mendonça, responsible for actions related to Banco Master investigations involving Eduardo Bolsonaro. ?

"For months Flávio Bolsonaro has publicly denied any links to Daniel Vorcaro, a disgraced banker at the centre of Brazil's largest-ever bank fraud."
The Federal Police considers there are sufficient elements to justify investigating the suspicions, which include the remittance of R$ 61 million to the United States, even with a significant part of the film having been shot in Brazil. One of the main lines of investigation is to verify whether the resources were intended to finance the stay of former federal deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro in the USA, who is a defendant in the Supreme Court for coercion in the course of proceedings. ✓

Flávio Bolsonaro confirmed having requested the money from Vorcaro, but denied irregularities, ensuring that the amounts were entirely destined for the film and promising to present contracts and proof of expenses. Eduardo also denied having used the resources for personal expenses in the USA. ✓
