Overview
- Lindbergh Farias sent an official letter to the Polícia Federal and Interpol on Sunday, May 31, requesting international cooperation to preserve financial records and trace funds tied to the film Dark Horse.
- On June 1 he filed a petition at the Supreme Federal Court that links a R$108 million São Paulo municipal contract with Instituto Conhecer Brasil to the movie’s financing and asks the court to notify the Prosecutor General and financial regulators to consider criminal charges.
- Reporting by Agência Pública and leaked messages published by Intercept Brasil allege Eduardo Bolsonaro was listed as a project “financiador,” that banker Daniel Vorcaro prioritized payments after a Flávio Bolsonaro request, and that a proposed schedule called for ten installments of US$2.5 million.
- Documents cited by Lindbergh point to cross-border channels — including a US company, a Dutch stichting and orders of payment — while the São Paulo actors’ union and international outlets report on delayed pay and poor working conditions on the set.
- Investigations are active but unresolved, with Lindbergh urging use of Interpol tools such as a Silver Notice and calling on Coaf, Receita Federal and the Central Bank to trace remittances while political and electoral fallout for Bolsonaro allies continues to grow.
