The Spin


Flávio Bolsonaro's presidential ambitions are built on a shaky foundation of unanswered corruption allegations. The 'rachadinha' scheme diverted R$6 million in public funds, and Flávio's ties to militia figures in Rio de Janeiro raise serious questions about his fitness for office. Claiming he was cleared of wrongdoing is a flat-out distortion — charges were dropped on procedural grounds, not innocence.

Justice Moraes' 90-day ban on Flávio visiting his jailed father is timed to block communication during the most critical stretch of the electoral calendar, including the convention formalizing Flávio's candidacy. Barring a son from speaking to his father by judicial decree — while Lula was permitted interviews during imprisonment — exposes a blatant double standard. This is targeted political suppression dressed up as legal procedure.
