Police ask for access to financial data from production company linked to the film Dark Horse

In a note, the São Paulo City Hall reported that it did not identify any irregularities in the execution of the services provided by Instituto Saber Brasil until now. The municipal administration added that it will take appropriate measures if any problems are detected.

Karina Ferreira da Gama did not comment on the request for access to financial data. Regarding the contract signed with the City of São Paulo, however, he stated that the process occurred regularly and that there is no connection between the resources allocated to the Wi-Fi Livre SP program and the production of the Dark Horse film.

The investigation is also monitored by the Public Ministry and seeks to clarify the allocation of public resources linked to the connectivity program in the capital of São Paulo.
