247 - This Sunday brings further evidence that Brazilian "institutions" were used to rig the 2018 election, favoring Jair Bolsonaro and the rise of the far-right. Not only was former president Lula forcibly disqualified by the TSE (Superior Electoral Court), and Antonio Palocci's plea bargain leaked by former judge Sergio Moro, but it has now been revealed that the Federal Police leaked information to Flávio Bolsonaro that the "rachadinha" scheme (a scheme involving the misappropriation of public funds) was being investigated and that he should fire his advisor Fabrício Queiroz, who acted as a kind of treasurer for the Bolsonaro family.
The revelation was made by businessman Paulo Marinho, Flávio's alternate, in an interview with journalist Mônica Bergamo, published in Folha de S. Paulo. According to him, Flávio said he knew in advance that Operation Furna da Onça, which targeted Queiroz, would be launched. "He was warned of its existence between the first and second rounds of the elections by a Federal Police delegate who sympathized with Jair Bolsonaro's candidacy. Furthermore, the police allegedly delayed the operation, which was then confidential, so that it wouldn't occur during the second round, thus harming Bolsonaro's candidacy. The informant delegate also allegedly advised Flávio to fire Fabrício Queiroz and his daughter, who worked in Jair Bolsonaro's federal deputy office in Brasília. The two were, in fact, dismissed during that period—more precisely, on October 15, 2018," the report points out. reporter.
The scandal broke soon after, and Queiroz became a "fugitive" whose whereabouts are known, but who remains shielded by the same "institutions" that rigged the 2018 election process to favor Jair Bolsonaro and harm Fernando Haddad.
