Flávio Bolsonaro linked to luxury event hosted by Precisa Medicamentos

Investigations have revealed that executives from Precisa Medicamentos organized a luxury event on Lake Paranoá in July 2020 to influence Senator Flávio Bolsonaro. At the time, the company was seeking federal contracts to distribute the Indian vaccine Covaxin.

Reports indicate that company owners and directors flew from São Paulo to Brasília via private jet, bringing individuals from São Paulo to participate in the gathering. The event included the use of a 20-meter speedboat and luxury amenities. During the outing, Danilo Berndt Trento, an institutional director at Precisa, reportedly gifted a Rolex watch to the Senator.

This meeting occurred as Brazil faced a significant surge in COVID-19 fatalities, with the country struggling to secure vaccine agreements during the height of the pandemic.
