Flávio Bolsonaro, the eldest son of the President of the Republic, is investigated for embezzlement and money laundering in his office in Alerj through a ‘cracked’ scheme with part of his employees’ salary.
Financial intelligence reports, which instructed the first phase of the investigations, revealed unusual movements of resources in the office of Flávio Bolsonaro, when he was a state deputy in Rio. The first one showed the unusual movement of R $ 1.2 million for Fabrício Queiroz – the document opened investigations. Then, through another report, it was learned that the senator made 48 deposits of R $ 2,000 for a total of R $ 96,000 in five days in June 2017. This report is one of which the defense claims that it occurred a breach of confidentiality. Banking without judicial authorization. In April of last year, the Rio de Janeiro Court of Justice authorized the breaking of the fiscal and banking secrecy of Flávio and 95 other individuals and companies.
This month, Minister Felix Fischer of the Superior Court of Justice (STJ) denied the senator’s appeal to revoke the violation of fiscal and bank secrecy and told GLOBO that the violation was authorized “in duly grounded judicial decisions” and “in support of strong evidence of materiality and authorship of crimes.”

Senator Flávio Bolsonaro’s defense request was made in early March of this year. The senator’s lawyers appealed to the Court after their requests to the Third Criminal Chamber of the Rio Criminal Court had been denied.
The appeal to the Court represented the ninth time that Flávio’s defense tried to paralyze the investigations. The senator argues that there was a violation of fiscal and banking secrecy in the communication made by the Financial Activities Control Council (Coaf) about his atypical movements.
