Italian MP Angelo Bonelli has announced that he will request a criminal investigation into the granting of Italian citizenship to Flavio, Eduardo and Carlos Bolsonaro, questioning whether the brothers received preferential treatment while other descendants of Italians wait up to ten years, according to ICL Notisia.
■ Flavius' request was processed within only 58 days after his summons. The Italian government confirmed that all three received citizenship on January 5, 2023, under the legislation that was in force at the time, which allowed recognition of descent without generational restrictions.
■ However, Bonelli pointed to the suspension of appointment scheduling at the embassy since August 2018 and demanded to clarify whether the brothers bypassed the waiting list.
