Banker committed to transferring 24 million dollars (around R$134 million at the time) to finance the film ‘Dark Horse’, a production that will tell the story of the former president and senator’s father
Daniel Vorcaro, owner of Banco Master, exchanged messages with senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) before being arrested trying to flee the country in November 2025. The information was released by the Intercept Brasil portal this Wednesday (13).
The messages indicate a negotiation in which Vorcaro committed to transferring 24 million dollars (around R$134 million at the time) to finance the film “Dark Horse”, a production that will tell the story of former president Jair Bolsonaro and is scheduled for release on September 11, 2026.

Daniel Vorcaro: — Speak, ‘big brother’. I’m at church, finishing, I’ll call you.
Flávio Bolsonaro: [manda duas imagens de visualização única, seguidas da mensagem] — Brother, I am and will always be with you, there’s no such thing as half a conversation between us. I just need you to give me some light! Hugs!
Daniel Vorcaro: [manda uma imagem de visualização única]
Flávio Bolsonaro: – Amen!
The documents indicate that at least 10 million dollars had been paid between February and May 2025 in six opportunities to finance the project. The banker’s involvement would have been negotiated directly with the pre-candidate, but there were also other intermediaries with Eduardo Bolsonaro and Mario Frias, both from PL São Paulo.
In September 2025, Flávio and Vorcaro were already in direct contact, according to the portal. During this period, the dialogues point to face-to-face meetings in São Paulo.

Flávio Bolsonaro: [duas ligações de voz]
Daniel Vorcaro: — Brother, unfortunately I will need to stay in São Paulo tomorrow. Could we schedule Tuesday at the end of the day or Wednesday at any time?
Flávio Bolsonaro: — Speak, ‘sir’, see what’s best for you. I’ll be here all week.
Daniel Vorcaro: — Wednesday, 2:30 pm?
Flávio Bolsonaro: [ligação de voz]
In October, the two discuss the production of the film, when Flávio states that he is “at the limit”. They also arrange a meeting at the banker’s house, attended by actor Jim Caviezel and director Cyrus Nowrasteh on November 2nd.

Flávio Bolsonaro: — Good morning, ‘mermon’. We are already on the third day of recording. We are at the limit. Once again, with all the freedom we have, if you don’t tell me, I’m urgently looking for another path.
Daniel Vorcaro: —Leave it to me, brother, I’ll see now.
Flávio Bolsonaro: [figurinha enviada] — Would you like to have dinner with Jim Caviezel and Cyrus in São Paulo on Nov 2 (Monday)? Fully booked.
Daniel Vorcaro: — Top, of course. Where will it be? Do you want to do it at my house?
Flávio Bolsonaro: — It could be at your house, yes! I think it’s even better!
Daniel Vorcaro: — Good, I had a trip. I’m going to reorganize myself here.
Flávio Bolsonaro: – Closed!
On November 7th, Flávio sends a single-view video to Vorcaro and states that “all of this is only possible” because of Vorcaro.
Flávio Bolsonaro: [vídeo de visualização única] – You’re losing, brother! All of this is only possible because of you!
Daniel Vorcaro: – How awesome. It was perfect.
