Federal Police Names Carlos Bolsonaro as Organizer of Fake News Criminal Scheme

The Supreme Court conducted a secret investigation into the president's son

Apr.25.2020 8:09PM

Brazil's Federal Police named Carlos Bolsonaro, son of President Jair Bolsonaro, as an organizer of a criminal scheme that spread fake news. The Supreme Court conducted the investigation.

Igor Romário de Paula, one of the four delegates in the investigation, also coordinated the Car Wash operation in Curitiba when Sergio Moro, now a former Minister of Justice, was the operation's judge.

Maurício Valeixo, the federal police director dismissed by Bolsonaro, was superintendent of the police in Paraná during the same period and was appointed by Moro to command the police.

There is no doubt that Bolsonaro forced Valeixo out because of the growing evidence that his son, a councilman in Rio de Janeiro, took part in the criminal scheme.
