247 - The Public Prosecutor's Office of Rio de Janeiro suspects possible irregularities in the R$ 261 paid in cash for school fees and health insurance for the daughters of Flávio Bolsonaro (Republicanos-RJ). There were 116 bills paid in cash. At least two of these bills, for tuition at a school in Rio, were demonstrably paid by Fabrício Queiroz, according to the Public Prosecutor's Office. The content of the document was published by... TV Globo.
The former aide to Flávio Bolsonaro in the Rio de Janeiro Legislative Assembly (Alerj) paid two monthly installments, of R$ 3.382,27 and R$ 3.560,28, on October 1, 2018, according to photos and data included in the case file.
Queiroz was arrested this Thursday morning (18) in São Paulo for involvement in a money laundering scheme when he was an advisor to Flávio Bolsonaro at Alerj. According to investigations, the parliamentarian's employees returned part of their salary, and the money was laundered through a chocolate shop and through investment in real estate.
The payment of monthly fees would be further evidence that the salary collected from the office staff was being returned to the parliamentarian. "The analysis of his banking activities allowed Gaecc/MPRJ to prove that Fabrício Queiroz also transferred part of the illicit funds diverted from Alerj directly to the family assets of then-state deputy Flávio Bolsonaro, through bank deposits and payments of personal expenses of the parliamentarian and his family," says an excerpt from the decision.
