Overview
- The STF decision, issued Thursday, followed a Polícia Federal request and a favorable legal opinion from Procurador-Geral Paulo Gonet to open a formal inquérito.
- The PF will focus on roughly R$61 million that reporting links to transfers from Daniel Vorcaro through Entre Investimentos to a fund in Texas that financed the Dark Horse production.
- The probe will examine whether some of the funds financed Eduardo Bolsonaro’s stay in the United States or supported other actions by Bolsonaro allies, and will seek documentary and financial records to confirm destinations.
- Police investigators have flagged possible crimes including money laundering and evasion of divisas and plan to pursue international cooperation and bank-tracing to follow the money.
- A separate STF inquiry under minister Flávio Dino continues to probe possible links to parliamentary emendas and public-linked funds, and the new PF inquérito sharpens legal and political scrutiny of the Bolsonaro family and campaign finances.
