“I am funding my son and my granddaughter, and the accusation is that I would be funding undemocratic acts. The work he does there is for the democracy of Brazil. There is no sanction of Brazilian authorities in the United States,” he said.
“I deposited 2 million in his account. I have two grandchildren, and everything there is much more expensive,” he added.
He classified the investigation as a “persecution.” “The persecution continues. Much worse was done in 2017 and 2018, when Lula was in prison. The PT rode the world denouncing the Brazilian justice as partial. It is a persecution,” he said.

Bolsonaro was also asked about Carla Zambelli (PL-SP), who is on the run in Italy after the decree of his custody by the Supreme Court. The former president denied any relationship with the deputy and said he did not send resources to her.
