"Eduardo Bolsonaro afirma que fomos à casa errada e que ele está alugando um "apartamento". Se ele não mora na mansão em Southlake, por que sua esposa e filhos estavam lá e por que ele e a esposa publicaram vários vídeos nas redes sociais de dentro da casa?"
According to Intercept, the four-bedroom mansion with pool was rented for about R$ 30,000 monthly until February 2026. The report confirmed the address through Texas public records, commercial data, family social media posts and field reporting. Heloísa Bolsonaro answered the door, confirmed the family lived there and refused an interview. ✓

"O Intercept afirma que confirmou o endereço a partir de registros públicos do Texas, dados comerciais de inteligência, cruzamento de publicações da própria família Bolsonaro nas redes sociais e reportagem de campo. O veículo também relata que Heloísa Bolsonaro atendeu o repórter na casa, confirmou que a família morava ali e recusou entrevista... a mansão é avaliada em cerca de R$ 6 milhões e havia sido anunciada para aluguel por aproximadamente R$ 30 mil mensais até fevereiro deste ano."
Eduardo Bolsonaro denied the report, saying he lives "renting" an "apartment" and accused Intercept of publishing "fake news." "Intercept went to the wrong house because they are terrible investigative journalists," the former congressman said. When asked about the property's value, he declared: "It can be whatever value, the money is mine." ✓

"Moro de aluguel, ao contrário do que o Intercept falou. O Intercept dá fake news. O Intercept foi na casa errada, porque são péssimos jornalistas investigativos."
The controversy occurs while Eduardo Bolsonaro has assets frozen by Brazilian Justice and does not publicly inform if he does paid work in the US. Federal Police investigate whether he is financed with money from Daniel Vorcaro, owner of Banco Master, according to Intercept's report. ◦

"A reportagem também conecta o padrão de vida de Eduardo Bolsonaro nos Estados Unidos às investigações sobre seu sustento fora do Brasil. O Intercept lembra que o ex-deputado tem bens bloqueados pela Justiça brasileira, não informa publicamente se exerce trabalho remunerado nos EUA e já disse ter dificuldade para pagar contas. Segundo o veículo, a Polícia Federal apura se ele é bancado com dinheiro de Daniel Vorcaro, dono do Banco Master."
