Bolsonaro's son wouldn't get on the elevator with Marielle.

By Alex Solnik, for the Journalists for Democracy - A short article in this week's Veja magazine contains a potentially explosive revelation, showing how city councilman Carlos Bolsonaro, the president's son, behaved towards his colleague Marielle Franco.

On last week's "Fantástico" program, Marielle's former aide, Fernanda Chaves, revealed that some city councilors avoided getting in the elevator with Marielle Franco.

"In her testimony to investigators, she named names," reports Mauricio Lima in his Radar column. "It was just one city councilman: Carlos Bolsonaro."

It was already known that Flávio Bolsonaro, Carlos's brother, employed former military police officer Fabrício Queiróz in his office, and, at his suggestion, the mother and wife of Adriano Magalhães da Nóbrega, a militia member identified by the police as one of the leaders of the Escritório do Crime (Office of Crime), and accused of involvement in the assassination of Marielle.

It was also known, through delegate Giniton Lages, that the killer of the councilwoman, also a member of the militia Ronnie Lessa, a friend of Adriano, lived three houses away from Jair Bolsonaro, in the Vivendas da Barra Condominium, and that one of his daughters had dated a son of the then federal deputy and now president of the Republic.

Why didn't Carlos take the elevator if Marielle was in it? If it were trivial information, the aide wouldn't have omitted it in the interview with "Fantástico," certainly at the request of the police.

This investigation is missing a Sherlock Holmes.
