- Sen. Flávio Bolsonaro is under investigation for allegedly receiving 61 million reais (~$12M) from disgraced banker Daniel Vorcaro to fund an unreleased film about his father — related documents were unsealed this week.
- The probe ties into the larger Banco Master fraud case (Vorcaro was arrested) and prompted police to seize film-related records amid allegations some funds paid family expenses or political promotion.
- Flávio denies wrongdoing and says the money was private investment, but the revelations could sway the tight presidential race just weeks before the Oct. 4 vote.
