Flávio Dino lifts secrecy in 'Dark Horse' film investigation FAST-MOVING
Supreme Court Minister Flávio Dino has lifted the secrecy surrounding investigations into the potential diversion of public funds to finance the film 'Dark Horse', a biopic about former President Jair Bolsonaro. The decision follows 'Operation Make Up', which involved 49 search and seizure warrants across several Brazilian states.
Investigators are examining a suspected criminal organization involving federal parliamentary amendments and municipal contracts from São Paulo. Federal Deputy Mário Frias is identified as a central figure in the alleged scheme, which reportedly involves a closed financial circuit between Frias, Complexsys Soluções Integradas Ltda, the Instituto Conhecer Brasil (ICB), and the Academia Nacional de Cultura (ANC).
Additionally, the probe is investigating potential links between the suspected group and the PCC criminal faction. Dino ordered the transfer of all raw data extracted from seized mobile phones and computers to the Federal Police to ensure transparency and equality before the law. The investigation also scrutinizes Karina Gama, owner of the production company Go Up Entertainment and the ICB, regarding the use of public funds.
