Flávio Bolsonaro, a senator from the PL and candidate for the presidency, has submitted a petition to the Supreme Federal Court (STF) requesting an investigation into President Lula's conduct regarding Daniel Vorcaro, owner of Banco Master. The request was made to Minister André Mendonça and is based on messages that, according to Bolsonaro's defense, implicate a relationship between the two.

The criminal complaint presented by Bolsonaro comes amid his presidential campaign and also during an investigation he is involved in, known as 'Dark Horse'.

In addition, a report has surfaced indicating that Flávio Bolsonaro made a trip in January 2025 from the United States to Brazil on a private jet associated with Vorcaro, raising new questions about their connections. This information was disclosed by the magazine piauí.

The flight took place on January 19, 2025, when Flávio allegedly traveled with family and lawyer Willer Tomaz, who is associated with the former banker. The same jet was later used by STF Minister Alexandre de Moraes in August.

In response to the allegations, Flávio Bolsonaro stated that the trip was at the invitation of Willer Tomaz and not related to Vorcaro, seeking to distance himself from any negative implications arising from the jet's use.

On the other hand, a deputy from the PT also filed a complaint with the STF to investigate the circumstances of Flávio's trip on an aircraft linked to Vorcaro, which could lead to further developments in the situation.
