Flávio Bolsonaro attends Florida church tied to pastor cited in Brazil fraud inquiry

Brazilian Senator Flávio Bolsonaro made his first public appearance since fleeing to the United States, attending an evangelical service in Florida on Sunday, November 1st, at a church whose founder was cited in a congressional inquiry into social security fraud. The senator was accompanied by his wife, Fernanda, his brother Eduardo Bolsonaro, and sister-in-law Heloísa. They were received at Celeiro House of Prayer by pastors José Maurício Fernandes and Alice Fernandes, with José Maurício addressing the senator directly, saying, "If you won or lost, because with Jesus you don't lose." The church's founder, André Fernandes, was named in a request to testify before the CPMI over a 200,000 reais donation from businessman Felipe Macedo Gomes, linked to the Golden Boys group investigated in Operation Sem Desconto. The request did not advance, though Fernandes was also involved in a public dispute between Senator Damares Alves and Pastor Silas Malafaia.
