Bolsonaro is suspected of the crimes of criminal organization, money laundering, and embezzlement.

In addition to Bolsonaro, 11 other people were indicted by the Federal Police. Among those cited as suspects are Mauro Cid, former aide to the ex-president, and lawyers Fabio Wajngarten and Frederick Wassef.
