RIO DE JANEIRO
Until November 2018, Rio de Janeiro state representative and senator-elect Flávio Bolsonaro had the mother and the wife of a former police officer under investigation for commanding militia groups in the state, former captain Adriano da Nóbrega. Nóbrega had been expelled from the force and is a fugitive.

His mother Raimunda and wife Danielle resigned from their positions after a request from senator Bolsonaro, one of the president's four sons. Each of them made around R$ 6,500 (US$ 1,700) per month.

Raimunda is one of Flávio Bolsonaro's aides cited in a financial surveillance report that identified atypical bank activities from another Bolsonaro aide, Fabrício Queiroz. According to the report, she would have transferred R$ 4,600 (US 1,200) to Queiroz' bank account.

Bolsonaro's press representative said that Raimunda was referred by Queiroz, a retired police officer under investigation of money laundering, for the position.
