What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A Brazilian Supreme Court justice unsealed an investigation into the production of a film about former President Jair Bolsonaro, suggesting the film's financing may have ties to a criminal network. Federal police targeted Mário Frias, a Bolsonaro ally, seizing documents from the film's production company and from Frias, who had sent approximately 2 million reais to a nonprofit linked to the project. Investigators suspect a criminal organization channeled funds to companies that were irregularly subcontracted.
