Brazil: Bolsonaro Family Under Supreme Court Corruption Investigation Ahead of Elections
Brazil's Supreme Court (STF) has initiated multiple investigations into Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, son of presidential candidate Jair Bolsonaro, for alleged corruption and money laundering, specifically linked to the 'Master case' and financing of the 'Dark Horse' film. The STF has ordered the full lifting of secrecy on the Master case evidence, increasing transparency but also political pressure on the Bolsonaro family weeks before the presidential election. The Workers' Party (PT) intends to leverage these developments in their campaign.
