DF court makes Jair Renan a defendant for money laundering and ideological falsehood

The 5th Criminal Court of Brasília accepted the complaint presented by the Public Ministry against Jair Renan Bolsonaro for the crimes of money laundering, ideological falsehood and use of a false document to obtain a bank loan. In addition to Jair Renan, five other people also became defendants.

Last month, the Civil Police of the Federal District indicted former president Jair Bolsonaro’s “son 04”. The MP for the DF and Territories (MPDFT) decided to report the group to the courts on the 20th.

According to the investigation, false numbers were presented that indicated revenue from Renan’s company, RB Eventos e Mídia, in the amount of R$4.6 million between 2021 and 2022, to a financial institution to back the loans. The information was released by g1 portal.

The scheme to make loans viable also involved the transfer of resources through orange accounts, opened in the name of fictitious people. In August last year, Jair Renan was the target of a search and seizure and had a hard drive and a cell phone taken by the police as part of Operation Nexum.

The Court considered that the complaint made by the MP presented “the necessary requirements to initiate criminal prosecution in court”. After being summoned, defendants must present their defenses within 10 days.
