São PauloBrazil’s deposit insurer paid $7.7bn for Banco Master’s collapse.
Flávio Bolsonaro is under investigation over it, days before a near-tied first round Sunday.
Prosecutors say the bank sold certificates paying up to 140% of the benchmark rate, then diverted its assets to shell accounts.
Bolsonaro denies wrongdoing over his request that jailed banker Daniel Vorcaro fund a film about his father.
Neither he nor Lula is expected to pass 50%, so a run-off on 25 October looms.
