Bolsonaro Says Scandal-Hit Banker Funds Weren’t for His Brother

Brazilian presidential candidate Flavio Bolsonaro denied that money he sought from a scandal-plagued banker was meant for his younger brother amid mounting pressure on his fledgling campaign.

In a Thursday television interview, the 45-year-old senator and top challenger to leftist President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva reiterated that funds he requested from the man at the center of a sprawling fraud probe were intended to support a film about his father, former leader Jair Bolsonaro.
