"When this deadline ends and if there is no approval from the Legislative, betting may return with more strength, but the elections will have already passed." Flávio Bolsonaro accused Lula da Silva of promoting an "electoral fraud" by announcing the prohibition only nine days before the elections, since, he argued, it was the government of the Workers' Party (PT) itself that regulated betting, authorized 85 companies to operate, and collected about 20 billion reais (around 3.855 billion dollars) in taxes from these operators.

To the curious: 1 - Bruno Richards is my friend. I have known him for about a year precisely because he comments on bets and prediction markets on my profile since 2024. It is public knowledge that he works at Polymarket. He has never asked me to support a politician or express opinions. 2 - I would like to know if the candidate Chico Linguiça knows "Maria Cecilia" and is aware of promises in Australian dollars after the elections for her to position herself politically on her profile on X. 3 - I don't care about political kickbacks. 4 - Flavio will win in the first round and I not only support him for free but I would even pay to support him if necessary.

We do not have weapons, we do not have armed collectives, we do not have billions of dollars from drug trafficking, oil, and illegal mining, we cannot pay billion-dollar lobbies, but we have the truth, morality, and the Venezuelan people on our side; and that will, that honest rage will never go out until we are free. They may have their networks of extortion, torture, and murder, but they will pass their last days being despised by all of humanity, and absolutely every rational and moral person will fear getting close; an example of this is what happened recently with the President of Paraguay and his subsequent change of speech. Our morality is intact, our truth continues to beat, because it will never be acceptable to uphold and legitimize murderous dictatorships, and the people, the good people who are in greater numbers, hope that justice and truth prevail.

It is inhumane to ask people who spend 15 hours without electricity in their homes, who earn 5 dollars a month, and whose 20 grams of protein they had for the week are rotting due to the lack of energy, not to protest, to be silent, and to endure the murderers who made them live in that situation.

I am shocked because there was a time when traditional journalism was scandalized by pedal boats that supposedly belonged to a former president of the republic, but now it’s fine to travel in a corrupt banker’s jet, demand millions of dollars from him, make payments to militia members, share office and accounting with the bald guy from the INSS... do all this and you will be treated just like a normal political agent aspiring to the highest position in the country.

Senator Flávio Bolsonaro flew on an aircraft owned by Daniel Vorcaro in January 2025 while returning from Florida to Brasília after a family trip. It is the same high-end executive jet, registration PP-NLR, that transported STF Minister Alexandre de Moraes in August of the same year, as revealed by the newspaper O Globo. [Comment from Noblat: Only in December 2025 Flávio was nominated by his father as a candidate for president of the Republic.] Piauí found out that the company Prime You, which then had Vorcaro as one of its partners, already owned one-third of the shares of the aircraft at the time of the flight. The acquisition was made at the end of 2024. Flávio's trip, a candidate for the Presidency by PL, was made with family: with his wife, dentist Fernanda Antunes Figueira Bolsonaro, and the couple's two daughters. Among the passengers was also friend Willer Tomaz, a lawyer and businessman who has been arrested in the JBS scandal (from which he was ultimately acquitted) and is under investigation in the scheme of billion-dollar misappropriations from INSS. Tomaz confirmed to Piauí that he owned one of the three shares of the plane. In addition to holding another of these shares, Prime You was also the operator of the jet, through Prime Aviation Táxi Aéreo e Serviços, which is part of its portfolio. According to information from the company itself, Prime You had Vorcaro as a partner from 2021 until September 2025. A report from the Federal Police shows that each of the shares of 33.33% was worth 5.5 million dollars in May 2025. At that time, the company was negotiating the transfer of the stake to the office of lawyer Viviane Barci de Moraes, wife of Alexandre de Moraes, which ultimately did not materialize. The newspaper O Globo was the outlet that revealed last week that the Federal Police found, during investigations into the frauds at INSS, records that Flávio and Tomaz traveled together from Fort Lauderdale to Brasília on January 19, 2025, the day before Donald Trump's inauguration. A report by Patrik Camporez informed that the group traveled on an aircraft operated by Prime You. Piauí identified that this plane is the Legacy 650 with registration PP-NLR, by cross-referencing historical air traffic records, an airport movement spreadsheet, and information from the Brazilian Aeronautical Registry - part of this data was available in the Organized Crime CPI. Historical air traffic records on the ADBS-Exchange site show that, on January 19, 2025, PP-NLR took off from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, crossed the Caribbean, and northern South America, and landed in Brasília. An airport movement spreadsheet confirms that PP-NLR arrived in Brasília from Fort Lauderdale that day. The date, origin, and destination match the flight of Flávio and Tomaz identified by the Federal Police and revealed by Globo. During their stop in Florida, Flávio and Willer stayed at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, where, according to the column by Lauro Jardim from Globo, they spent the night of January 18 to 19 before returning to Brazil. "There, Willer withdrew 236 thousand dollars in cash," wrote the columnist. Commenting on the news, Willer Tomaz stated that he stayed at the hotel for eight days, but denied gambling. This was one of several trips that Flávio Bolsonaro and Willer Tomaz took together, which also included a safari in South Africa two months later, in March 2025. In addition, the closeness between Flávio and Willer extends to the lawyer's properties. In August, as revealed by Piauí, Flávio Bolsonaro used an apartment that Tomaz's company had purchased in February from Fabiano Zettel, Vorcaro's brother-in-law and financial operator, at a discount of 2 million reais.
