How PF's serial operations lead to the redrawing of the stock market in Rio

The ongoing operations by Brazil's Federal Police against Bolsonarists in Rio de Janeiro have forced the PL party to rethink its electoral strategy in the state. Following investigations targeting key figures involved in building their campaign platform, PL leaders are now considering changes to their Senate race and reorganizing their campaign to avoid further damage to Senator Flávio Bolsonaro's presidential candidacy. Initially, Rodrigo Bacellar was seen as the main candidate for governor but withdrew after being arrested and later having his mandate revoked under Operation 'Unha e Carne'. The party then turned to Douglas Ruas as an alternative. However, new developments in the sixth phase of the operation have raised concerns, particularly regarding Márcio Canella, a former mayor of Belford Roxo and a key ally of Flávio Bolsonaro, who is now under investigation for money laundering through a network of gas stations. Despite this, Flávio publicly supported Canella, calling him a friend and expressing full backing for his Senate bid. This has led to internal discussions within the PL about potentially replacing Canella with other candidates such as Sóstenes Cavalcante, Carlos Jor

PF targets ex-mayor of Belford Roxo and former head of the Civil Police of Rio in a new phase of the operation

The Federal Police in Brazil has launched the sixth phase of Operation 'Unha e Carne' (Fingernail and Flesh), targeting individuals suspected of involvement in money laundering through a network of fuel stations in the Metropolitan Region of Rio de Janeiro. The operation, based on a report by the Financial Activities Control Council (Coaf), alleges that the group moved approximately 7.6 billion Brazilian reals over six years.
