Senator Flávio Bolsonaro continues to face legal investigations regarding financial irregularities and allegations of illegal foreign funding. A new inquiry referred to the Supreme Federal Court (STF) by the Federal Police investigates suspected money laundering involving the Senator and lawyer Willer Tomaz. Assigned to Minister Alexandre de Moraes, the probe stems from investigations into digital payment platforms and the betting sector. Investigators reportedly found evidence in Tomaz’s cloud data, including the Senator’s personal documents and travel expenses paid by Tomaz’s company, Cathedral. The Federal Police also noted that Bolsonaro appeared as a ‘master user’ of an account held by Alcazar Holding, a company linked to Tomaz. Bolsonaro’s campaign has denied any wrongdoing, maintaining that his relationship with Tomaz is strictly personal. In September 2026, Federal Deputy Lindbergh Farias filed a request with the STF to investigate allegations that Flávio Bolsonaro’s presidential campaign received illegal foreign funding. This follows claims by candidate Renan Santos that the campaign received money from the Rockbridge Network, a group of financiers linked to U.S. President Donald Trump. A decree signed by Federal Judge Flávio Dino is now examining whether this U.S. based organization provided funds, services, or economic benefits to the campaign. Following his defeat in the presidential election to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Flávio Bolsonaro relocated to Miami, Florida, via Argentina and Ecuador. In November 2026, his defense filed petitions to the STF seeking to remove Moraes from the money laundering investigation or declare him biased, citing a potential conflict of interest involving an aircraft company linked to the law firm of Moraes’ wife. The defense also requested the case be transferred to Minister André Mendonça and sought to overturn measures such as the seizure of Bolsonaro’s passports. In November 2026, Bolsonaro faced three additional investigations by the Superior Electoral Court (TSE).
