Jair Renan becomes a defendant for misrepresentation, money laundering and use of false documents – News

The 5th Criminal Court of Brasília received the complaint filed by the Public Ministry against Jair Renan Bolsonaro for the crimes of misrepresentation, money laundering and use of a false document. In practice, the former president’s son became a defendant in court. The information was confirmed by R7. The businessman’s defense was questioned, but he preferred not to comment on the case.

The investigation began with Operation Nexum, from the DF Civil Police, which investigated a scheme of embezzlement, document forgery, tax evasion and money laundering.

According to the Operation Nexum investigation, the group in which the businessman participated operated through “orange” employees to mask the real owners of shell companies. To establish these companies, they resorted to using false identities when opening bank accounts.

Police officers also claim that those under investigation falsified billing information and other documents using accountant data without consent to include false statements.

Jair Renan is Bolsonaro’s fourth son, known as “04”, the result of his relationship with Ana Cristina Valle. He had already been targeted by the Federal Police in 2021, when an investigation was opened to investigate businesses in which the former president’s youngest son was involved.

At the time, the Public Ministry revealed that the investigation was derived from the preliminary procedure opened to verify possible crimes of influence peddling and money laundering involving a business group in the mining sector and Bolsonaro’s son.

In 2022, the PF closed the investigation against Jair Renan and understood that he had not committed the crime of influence peddling. According to the investigation, the president’s son would have used the company Bolsonaro Jr. Eventos e Mídia to coordinate contacts between representatives of the mining company Gramazini Granitos e Mármores Thomazini, of the then minister of Regional Development, Rogério Marinho.

At the time, former president Bolsonaro declared that he did not have much contact with his son and that he could not say whether he “is right or wrong” in relation to the accusations of influence peddling and money laundering.

“The kid is 24 years old, I don’t think anyone knows him, he lives with his mother, he’s been away from me for a long time, but I welcome him here from time to time. He has his life, I don’t know if he’s right or wrong, but I ask God to protect him”, declared Bolsonaro on April 13, 2022.
