Deputies will travel at the end of this week to participate in meetings with the former federal deputy, self-exiled in the country.
According to parliamentarians interviewed by the report, the meeting was already scheduled and has no relation to the one between the senator and the former banker, from .
Last week, the website revealed that the presidential candidate demanded that Vorcaro pay installments to finance the film, an ode to his father’s story. Flávio said that there was nothing illegal in the negotiation and that it was private money.
Among the guests at the meeting organized by Eduardo is federal deputy Mario Frias (PL), who was with the former parliamentarian last week in Bahrain, a Persian Gulf monarchy with which Bolsonaro’s son maintains relations and often visits.
Federal deputy Paulo Bilynskyj (PL) and state deputies Gil Diniz (PL), Eduardo’s right-hand man, Lucas Bove (PL), Tenente Coimbra (PL), Paulo Mansur (PL) and Cristiano Caporezzo (PL) were also called.
Pre-candidates for deputy who have the support of the former president’s son were also invited. The expectations are that the meetings, scheduled for Thursday (21) and Friday (22) in the city of Dallas, Texas, will be attended by between 15 and 20 people.
The developments in the “Dark Horse” case could also affect Eduardo. As , a fund linked to Paulo Calixto, his lawyer in the USA, bought a house in Arlington, Texas, in February, the American state where the former congressman lives.
Calixto is also the administrator of another fund, which received part of the R$61 million paid by Vorcaro in 2025 at Flávio’s request.
The suspicion is that resources linked to the former banker have been used in the United States, where he has lived since February 2025. Jair Bolsonaro’s (PL) son suspects this because, according to him, his migration status would prohibit receiving funds.
The Intercept Brasil also showed that Eduardo from “Dark Horse” signed a contract with powers over the financial management of the project.
This week’s meetings in Texas are also seen as an opportunity to express support for the former deputy amid the revelations of the audios between Flávio and Vorcaro. Allies recognize that the episode was very negative and that it should impact Bolsonaro’s son’s pre-campaign.
Participants must also record videos for the October campaign and discuss the party’s strategies for the elections.
The trip takes place a few weeks after Eduardo blessed the nomination of the president of the Legislative Assembly of São Paulo, André do Prado (PL), as a pre-candidate for the Senate in São Paulo. , the choice was poorly received by a wing of the party, as André is not a root Bolsonaro supporter, but rather a pupil of the party’s president, Valdemar Costa Neto.
In March, a similar group of parliamentarians had already been to Texas to meet with Eduardo, reinforce his leadership in the political field and discuss the October election.
