Brasilia, Mar 20 (EFE). – The Federal District Prosecutor’s Office of Brasilia filed a complaint on Wednesday against one of the sons of former President Jair Bolsonaro, whom it accuses of fraud and money laundering in operations to obtain bank loans.
The complaint, filed before an ordinary court, alleges that Jair Renan Bolsonaro, the youngest of the Brazilian far-right leader’s four sons, falsified the billing records of his events company to access at least three loans.
The loans were granted to him between 2022 and 2023 for about 700,000 reais (142,857 dollars or 129,600 euros), based on fraudulent documents that attributed to the company ‘RB Eventos e Mídia’ an annual turnover much higher than the real one, according to the Prosecutor’s Office.
Jair Renan is the only one of Bolsonaro’s sons who is not involved in politics.
The younger Bolsonaro, 25, became known as an “event organizer” in Brasília during his father’s administration (2019-2022).
In mid-2021, he was investigated on suspicion of influence peddling after a production company that provided services to the government worked on the inauguration party of one of Jair Renan’s companies.
