Flávio Bolsonaro confirmed in May 2025 that he had negotiated R$ 134 million with Vorcaro for the film, of which about R$ 61 million was actually transferred in six operations between February and May. The senator claimed it was formal private sponsorship, but visited Vorcaro at his residence shortly after the banker was placed under house arrest with an electronic ankle monitor. ?
