Rio de Janeiro Prosecutor’s Office investigations indicate that the former president’s son’s chief of staff received R$ 2.014 million from public officials
RIO – The commissioner’s chief of staff Charles Bolsonaro (Republican), Jorge Luiz Fernandes, received BRL 2.014 million in deposits from three former servants of former President Jair Bolsonaro’s son ’02? and three employees who still work for him at the Rio de Janeiro City Council. Technology Lab to Fight Corruption and Money Laundering of the Rio Public Prosecutor’s Office (MP-RJ), published by The globe and confirmed by Stadium, recorded the financial movements of Fernandes. The data obtained by the deputy reinforces suspicions about the practice of embezzlement, known as “rachadinha”, in Carlos’ office.
The deputy points out that, between 2009 and 2018, Carlos Bolsonaro’s chief of staff received BRL 647,000 from Juciara da Conceição Raimundo, BRL 101,000 from Andrea Cristina da Cruz Martins, BRL 814,000 from Regina Célia Sobral Fernandes, R$ 212,000 from Alexander Florindo Batista Júnior, R$ 52,000 from Thiago Medeiros da Silva and R$ 185,000 from Norma Rosa Fernandes Freitas. Jorge Fernandes is married to Regina Célia Sobral.
The financial transaction obtained by the 3rd Specialized Prosecutor’s Office for Criminal Investigations. The Justice of Rio has ascertained the violation of the banking and fiscal secrecy of Carlos Bolsonaro. The measure was authorized by the 1st specialized court for the fight against organized crime in Rio on 24 May. The incident also affected 26 other people and businesses. The investigation was opened after a report published by the magazine Era reveal that two people appointed as parliamentary advisers said that, in fact, they never held office in Carlos’s cabinet.
Carlos made purchases of high-value goods with cash. In September of last year, the Stadium revealed that, in 2003, the councilor paid R$ 150,000 (about R$ 370,000 in present value) in cash for the purchase of an apartment in the Tijuca neighborhood in the north zone. The episode was mentioned by the MP-RJ when he asked to break the councilor’s secret.
As Estadão showed in 2019, two individuals appointed as advisers in Carlos’ office in the House never issued a functional badge or registered as visitors to the Rio Municipal Legislature headquarters, where they allegedly worked. Even if it were performing an external function, the server would need to do one of two things to demonstrate attendance at the job, according to the Chamber briefed him at the time.
