Brazil police probe Bolsonaros for misuse of public funds on campaign film
El País·BR·about 21 hours ago
Brazilian justice has opened corruption investigations against presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro weeks before the election, potentially altering the race against incumbent Lula. The probe's scope and timing are unclear, but it could undermine Bolsonaro's campaign and shift political dynamics.
Brazil's Supreme Court (STF) has lifted secrecy on the 'Master case' and initiated investigations into Senator Flávio Bolsonaro for alleged corruption, money laundering, and legislative influence peddling. These developments, occurring weeks before national elections, introduce significant political volatility and legal risk for the Bolsonaro family. The full scope of the allegations and their electoral impact remain uncertain.
