Brazil probes Bolsonaro family's film financing ties to alleged money‑laundering network

Deputy Lindbergh Farias (PT‑RJ) asked Brazil's Supreme Court to open an investigation into possible links between Entre Investimentos, the financer of the film “Dark Horse” about former president Jair Bolsonaro, and ACX ITC Tecnologia, a company cited by São Paulo's Civil Police as part of a money‑laundering network used by the Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC). According to the report, Entre Investimentos transferred R$ 26 million to ACX ITC, which is registered in the name of a kite‑seller who acted as a “front” for a R$ 5 thousand fee. The probe will be attached to Operation Saturno and to the Federal Police’s Operation Compliance Zero, which also examines Banco Master and banker Daniel Vorcaro.

In a subsequent statement on X, Farias said the new phase of Operation Compliance Zero expands the Federal Police inquiry to the “Vorcaro‑Dark Horse‑Bolsonaro” circuit, alleging attacks on the Central Bank’s credibility, intimidation of journalists, illegal monitoring of public figures and attempts to interfere with criminal investigations. The investigation focuses on Thiago Miranda, identified as the intermediary who negotiated Vorcaro’s R$ 62 million investment in the film, and on other operatives involved in the so‑called “Project DV”. Lindbergh urged Flávio and Eduardo Bolsonaro to explain the R$ 61 million linked to Vorcaro, noting that no answers have been given for months.
