Bolsonaro Under Fire Over Movie Money | Charlotte News

Brazil’s Supreme Court just unsealed explosive documents revealing Senator Bolsonaro, Lula’s rival in the upcoming October 4 election, is under investigation for allegedly receiving $12 million from a disgraced banker tied to a $2.3 billion fraud at Banco Master. The funds were reportedly meant for a movie called “The Dark Horse,” but Bolsonaro insists he was seeking private financing. The scandal, which first emerged in May, has intensified as federal police probe the banker’s alleged theft of pension fund money and other clients’ assets. Critics are pointing fingers at Justice André Mendonca—appointed by Bolsonaro himself—who ordered the release of the files after pressure from the Chief Justice. With the election looming, this development could reshape the race as voters weigh the fallout from one of Brazil’s biggest financial scandals.
