According to investigators cited by the press, Vorcaro detailed requests for R$ 124 million made by Flávio to finance the film "Dark Horse," a biopic of former president Jair Bolsonaro, of which at least R$ 60 million was allegedly transferred. ?

The film "Dark Horse" is a 2026 production directed by Cyrus Nowrasteh, with Jim Caviezel playing Jair Bolsonaro. The work was registered on IMDb with the title "The story of Jair Bolsonaro, a former military officer who rose from obscurity as a congressman and became president of Brazil," confirming it to be a biopic of the former president. ?

"Dark Horse (2026) - IMDb. The story of Jair Bolsonaro, a former military officer who rose from obscurity as a congressman and became president of Brazil. Jim Caviezel: Jair Bolsonaro."

Flávio Bolsonaro denied the allegations in a statement made Tuesday (2nd), stating that "I didn't ask anyone for money. It was private money for a private film." The senator, who is a pre-candidate for the Presidency, disputed having requested resources from Vorcaro for the film production.

"Em declaração feita na terça-feira, Flávio negou ter pedido dinheiro a Vorcaro para a produção do filme. "Não pedi dinheiro para ninguém. Era um dinheiro privado para um filme privado", disse o senador e pré-candidato ao Planalto."

The new proposal replaces a previous version rejected by Federal Police in May 2026, considered insufficient by investigators. Vorcaro has been imprisoned since March at the Federal Police Superintendency in Brasília, accused of financial fraud, money laundering and criminal organization related to Banco Master. A meeting between the defense and investigators, scheduled for June 3, was postponed for analysis of the submitted material.

Diário de Pernambuco

"Vorcaro está preso na Superintendência da Polícia Federal em Brasília, e um esboço de delação enviado anteriormente foi rejeitado, após os investigadores avaliarem que ele estava escondendo informações e tentando proteger aliados."

Investigators suspect that part of the resources destined for the film may have been diverted to fund Eduardo Bolsonaro, Flávio's brother, in the United States, or used in money laundering operations. Federal Police and the Attorney General's Office are evaluating whether the new proposal contains sufficient information to support a plea bargain agreement.

"No entanto, os investigadores suspeitam que parte dos recursos não foi para a produção do filme, mas sim para bancar Eduardo Bolsonaro, irmão de Flávio, nos Estados Unidos."
