Leaked messages and documents suggest Senator Flávio Bolsonaro negotiated a $24 million financing deal with banker Daniel Vorcaro for a film about his father, former President Jair Bolsonaro, while the bank faced regulatory pressure.
Key points
- The Intercept Brasil reported that at least $10.6 million was transferred between February and May 2025.
- Senator Flávio Bolsonaro denied the allegations, characterizing the film as a private project funded by private resources.
- The Banco Master was liquidated by the Central Bank of Brazil in November 2025 following a $47 billion fraud scandal.
- Opposition politicians, including Deputy Lindbergh Farias, have called for the senator's preventive detention and an investigation into the relationship.
Why it matters
The revelations challenge the anti-corruption narrative of the Bolsonaro family and have intensified political pressure for a parliamentary inquiry into the collapse of Banco Master.
