In audio of a meeting about the “rachadinhas” case, Juliana Bierrenbach comments on an offer that Ricardo Teixeira allegedly made to her father
One of the senator’s lawyers Flavio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ), Juliana Bierrenbach, told in a meeting with the former general director of Abin (Brazilian Intelligence Agency) deputy Alexander Ramagem (PL-RJ) and with the former president Jair Bolsonaro (PL), in August 2020, about an alleged “corruption proposal” made to his father by the former president of CBF (Brazilian Football Confederation), Ricardo Teixeira.
The group was discussing the case of the “rachadinhas” (salary transfers) from Flávio’s office. Juliana made the comment after she learned that the former minister of GSI (Institutional Security Office) Augusto Heleno was a friend of his father, Major José Bonetti.
The military man was close to the former president of FIFA (International Football Federation) João Havelange, former father-in-law of Ricardo Teixeira. In the recording, Heleno mentions that Bonetti was a “son of Havelange”. Juliana says that this relationship ended when Teixeira “made a corruption proposal” to his father in the 1990s.
“You know what happened, right? He was Havelange’s son, until the day that Ricardo Teixeira, in the early 90s, made a bribery proposal to my father. My father, a 1.90m tall ‘Italian’, climbed on top of the table and punched Ricardo Teixeira in the face. He punched him: ‘Do you think I’m a kid?‘” said the lawyer. The conversation was then interrupted by other participants.
Listen (from 52min52s to 53min33s):
Teixeira began working in football through João Havelange. He led the CBF for 23 years and was removed from the sport by FIFA in 2019, following accusations of corruption in the 2014 World Cup.
Teixeira and Juliana’s defenses did not comment on the audio until this text was published.
