Leaked WhatsApp audio recordings and accompanying text messages published by Intercept Brasil show Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, a leading right-wing presidential pre-candidate, negotiating money with jailed banker Daniel Vorcaro, the owner of Banco Master. The materials, released on May 13, describe requests totaling about $24 million and cite an equivalent value of roughly R$134 million, with some reporting putting the figure at $26.8 million. The documents and messages also describe money already moved earlier, including a reported R$61 million transferred as part of the negotiations. The leaked communications reportedly link the payments to “Dark Horse,” a film described as being about Jair Bolsonaro, Flávio’s father. The Guardian reports that Flávio Bolsonaro later acknowledged the recordings. Across the accounts, the central allegation is that Flávio Bolsonaro sought funds from a banker who is in custody amid corruption accusations, raising concerns about the impact on his political standing ahead of Brazil’s October election. The reports rely on the published leak and related documents.
