Brasilia, March 16 (RHC)-- A new report on an illegal scheme of banking operations by the president of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, and his son Carlos, reveals another case of corruption for which Flavio Bolsonaro is denounced.

According to the news portal UOL, the violation of banking and tax secrecy of people and companies linked to Senator Flávio Bolsonaro reveals evidence that the scheme also occurred in the offices of his father, when he was a federal deputy, and his brother, Councilman Carlos Bolsonaro.

The data also point to the existence of suspicious financial operations carried out by the president's second wife, Ana Cristina Siqueira Valle.

Four published reports detail a series of suspicious transactions by Bolsonaro family advisors, characterized by the use of large amounts of cash.

In one case, it's revealed that four employees appointed to Jair Bolsonaro's office withdrew 72% of their salary in cash, a total of R$551,000, which was handed over to operators under the command of Fabrício Queiroz.  According to the Uol report, one of Bolsonaro's advisors at the time was Fernando Nascimento, who worked in the current president's office between 2009 and 2014.  During this period, he received 164,000 reais from the Chamber of Deputies and withdrew at least 126,000,000 (77% of salary). 

In a few months, Nascimento withdrew 100% of what he received.  Currently, he and his wife are working in the office of Senator Flávio Bolsonaro.  According to the publication, Jair Bolsonaro's former sister-in-law, Andrea Siqueira Valle, sister of the president's second wife, worked for eight years, between 1998 and 2006, in the office of the then federal deputy in Brasília.

An extensive report by Amanda Rossi, Flávio Costa, Gabriela Sá Pessoa and Juliana Dal Piva in the portal Uol reveals that the "meritocracy" of the Bolsonaro clan is sustained by the same corruption scheme - known as "cracked."

Journalists had access to the clan's breach of secrets in September 2020 and analyzed more than 607,552 bank transactions in 100 spreadsheets, one from each of the suspects investigated in the grand corruption scheme.  In addition to four cases, the case of Nathália Queiroz, daughter of Queiroz, who was appointed advisor to Bolsonaro between 2016 and 2018, after being employed by Flávio in Alerj for 10 years, is already known. 

Without a badge and acting as a personal trainer in Rio, Nathalia kept R$2,000 of her salary, which varied between R$7,000 and R$10,000.  The rest was transferred to her father's account.
