Federal Police weigh preventive arrest of Flávio Bolsonaro after US exit

g1.globo.com (Portuguese) —

Brazilian Federal Police are analyzing requesting the preventive arrest of Senator Flávio Bolsonaro after he left the country, investigating whether funds in the US are supporting the family abroad. Investigators say the senator violated a court order by leaving the country, which they believe meets the legal requirements for preventive detention under Article 312 of the Criminal Procedure Code. The police are also examining whether money from the "Dark Horse" film project and the Havengate fund remained in the US to sustain the Bolsonaro family. No formal arrest request has been confirmed yet.
