Brazil Federal Police links Frias amendment funds to Bolsonaro film producer

Brazil's Federal Police found a possible direct link between congressional amendment funds routed through Instituto Conhecer Brasil (ICB) and Go Up Entertainment, producer of the pro-Bolsonaro film 'Dark Horse'. The finding underpins STF Minister Flávio Dino's decision to bar deputy Mario Frias from leaving the country amid an investigation into alleged misuse of public funds. This marks an escalation in the probe, potentially implicating a sitting federal deputy in financial irregularities tied to political propaganda.
