The investigation into Banco Master concerns alleged illicit financing linked to the film 'Dark Horse', the cinematic biography of former president Jair Bolsonaro, and involves several Brazilian politicians accused of having facilitated money transfers from the banking institution.
Brazilian Supreme Court (Stf) judge André Mendonça has ordered the declassification of 39 other cases linked to the investigations into Banco Master, including the one into the financing of the film "Dark Horse", a film biography of former president Jair Bolsonaro. The investigation involves the senator and presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro, indicated by the Federal Police as the intermediary with the former banker Daniel Vorcaro, founder of Banco Master, for raising funds for the film. The money would later be managed by former MP Eduardo Bolsonaro.
Among the documents made public there are also those relating to Senator Ciro Nogueira, investigated for his activity in Parliament in favor of Banco Master and Vorcaro and for alleged money transfers, charges he denies, to Senator Jaques Wagner and the former governor of Rio de Janeiro Cláudio Castro, for a transfer of 3.6 billion reais from Rioprevidência to Banco Master.
The decision accepts a request from the Attorney General of the Republic (PGR) and comes after the President of the Supreme Court, Edson Fachin, had given Mendonça 24 hours to transmit all the documents to the other judges of the highest Brazilian court.
