Flávio Bolsonaro, a senator and pre-candidate for the presidency of Brazil, recently filed a police report due to a threatening post on social media that implied he might suffer the same fate as his father, ex-president Jair Bolsonaro, who was stabbed during the 2018 election campaign. The report was made to the Senate Police on Saturday morning and mentions that Flávio became aware of a particular social media post which posed a danger to his integrity.

The post in question originated from a user responding to another account's question about who might have ordered the attack on Jair Bolsonaro. The reply stated that while the author didn't know who ordered the assassination, they seemed to invite someone to 'pay' for Flávio to experience the same violent fate. Such language raises serious concerns, particularly as the post has political implications, suggesting that the threat is politically motivated according to Flávio's report.

The report indicates that the author of the threatening message is a 40-year-old resident of Brasília. Moreover, a recent survey by Datafolha has shown that Flávio's presidential candidacy is gaining traction, further exacerbating the tensions surrounding his public persona and political ambitions, especially in a country where political violence and threats have become increasingly prevalent.
