Flávio Bolsonaro, the president's son with dark pearls

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro opened the Davos forum on Tuesday (March 22nd) with a short speech. But while he is deploying his image of success before world leaders, a court in Rio de Janeiro has opened a corruption investigation in which his son Flávio is involved.

Paradoxically, one of the successes of the Bolsonaro campaign was the promise to go against corruption altogether and to scare away the ghost of "Lulismo" which was also presented to Dilma Rousseff.

deposits The Financial Activities Control Commission (COAF) found a series of deposits on Flávio Bolsonaro's account made between June and July 2017, while the son of the new president was deputy from Rio de Janeiro. They were established on the dates on which the salaries of the parliamentary councilors are paid and with amounts very similar to these. There were 48 deposits for 96,000 reais: approximately $ 30,600.

Fabricio Queiroz, counselor of the Bolsonaro family, was responsible for making the payments, still in the same ATM located in the Legislative Assembly of Rio.

"I am most interested in clarifying everything," Flávio said. However, he requested that the investigation be suspended after taking office as a senator. The Supreme Court of Justice has responded to his request and Queiroz has never testified to badert his health problems.

In his defense, the president's son said he was unaware of Queiroz's operations and alleged that his financial movements in recent years were related to the purchase and sale of real estate. A cash payment of R $ 100,000 would justify 48 deposits on your current account. And then Flávio counter-attacked: he badured that the survey published by O. Globo would be a persecution against the figure of the father.
In Davos, Jair Bolsonaro said that if his son "was wrong and was tested", he would defend the fact that he "was paying for it". Sérgio Praça, a researcher at the Getulio Vargas Foundation's Center for Public Sector Policy and Economics (Cepesp), said: "To accuse the media and anti-corruption institutions of these accusations would make it very weak. President".

Murder Jefferson Miola, a political badyst, said this denunciation confirmed suspicions of wrongdoing still directed against the presidential family. Flávio is also the subject of an investigation for its links with the crime bureau, a paramilitary group based in Rio de Janeiro, whose leaders are believed to have badbadinated Councilor Marielle Franco (PSOL). ).

O 'Globo has released the working relationship of the president's son with relatives of Captain Adriano Magalhães de la Nóbrega, who is, according to the prosecutor's office, the "boss" of the Office of the Crime. It is that his wife and daughter were employees of Flávio when he was a deputy.
In a tweet, Flávio confirmed that they were part of his staff, although taking his responsibilities: "The employee who appears in the report was hired to the management of my former consultant, Queiroz, who was supervising his work." These complaints can lead to a deep crisis. And some scholars conclude that this could even result in the dismissal of President Bolsonaro.
