After the Supreme Court suspended the investigation, Flávio says he has nothing more to say about Bolsogate.

247 - After the Supreme Federal Court (STF) granted an injunction suspending the investigations and there was talk of removing the case from the Attorney General's office in Rio de Janeiro, Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PSL-RJ) says he has nothing more to say about the reports from the Council for the Control of Financial Activities (Coaf) that pointed to suspicious bank transactions in his accounts and those of his former advisor Fabrício Queiroz.

"I've already said what I had to say, there's nothing new," the senator stated this Wednesday (30), when questioned by a journalist about when he would go to the Public Prosecutor's Office to clarify the suspicious transactions and his account. The statement was given to journalists as he was heading to register his biometrics at Congress for the start of his term, which is scheduled to take place this Friday (February 1st).

The investigations by the Rio de Janeiro State Public Prosecutor's Office were looking into suspicious transactions totaling R$ 1,2 million in the account of Flávio Bolsonaro's former aide in the Rio de Janeiro State Assembly, as well as sequential deposits into his account in 48 envelopes of R$ 2 each. According to the Public Prosecutor's Office, the sequential deposits are an attempt to evade scrutiny and may reveal money laundering. 

The investigation was suspended by the Supreme Court following a request from Flávio, who claimed privileged jurisdiction and the breach of bank secrecy without judicial authorization. Speaking to journalists, the senator said he is a victim of persecution. "We have to wait for the Supreme Court to pronounce itself. Everyone can see that I am a victim of persecution," he stated.
