Federal Police chief backs new probe into funds for 'Dark Horse' film

Brazil's Federal Police Director-General Andrei Rodrigues advocates for a new investigation into resources allegedly sent by Daniel Vorcaro to the United States to finance the film 'Dark Horse.' Rodrigues stated in an interview with GloboNews that "new elements" have emerged concerning potential support from individuals abroad who are "conspiring and articulating against Brazil," including alleged coercion during legal processes.

It is necessary to analyze new elements brought forward about potential support from individuals abroad who are conspiring and articulating against Brazil. Including coercing during the course of the process.

Rodrigues outlined three possible paths for the investigation. The first option is to integrate the new evidence into the 'Master' case, currently overseen by Justice André Mendonça at the Supreme Federal Court (STF). The second is to incorporate it into an ongoing inquiry into Eduardo Bolsonaro's activities in the United States, led by Justice Alexandre de Moraes. The third possibility is a random distribution of the case to another STF justice.

Now we need to await the legal decision and take the next steps.

"Now we need to await the legal decision and take the next steps," Rodrigues said. He also commented on the recent designation of the First Capital Command (PCC) and Red Command (CV) as terrorist organizations, which he described as a "surprise."

Rodrigues explained that during President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's official meeting with then-U.S. President Donald Trump, public security was a key topic. Lula provided Trump with documentation on issues of national interest, including combating organized crime, with technical details on the Federal Police's work and international cooperation. Rodrigues believes that equating organized crime with terrorism is a "technical mistake" that impedes effective action against criminal factions.
