Brasilia, Mar 28 (FN Agency) The Federal District Court of Brazil has indicted Renan Bolsonaro, son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, on charges of using forged documents and money laundering, the Brazilian media have reported. The court received an indictment filed a few days ago by the public prosecutor’s office and indicted Renan Bolsonaro and five other suspects for crimes related to the use of forged documents and money laundering, the G1 news portal reported on Wednesday.
The prosecutor’s office said the defendants used an event management company owned by Bolsonaro’s son to get three bank loans totaling up to 291,000 reais ($58,500), and the sum has not been repaid to the bank, the report said. To get the loans, the defendants allegedly falsified a document certifying that Renan’s company had earned 4.6 million reais ($925,000) in a year, the portal reported. Renan Bolsonaro has told the police that he had not recognised his signature on the documents, but experts have proven otherwise, the report said.
