Overview

• Federal Police formally accused Jair Bolsonaro and his son Eduardo of coaction and attempted abolition of democratic rule in a report sent to the Supreme Court.
• Investigators say a 33‑page draft asylum request to President Javier Milei was found on Bolsonaro’s phone, saved on February 10, 2024 and last modified February 12, with metadata listing “FERNANDA BOLSONARO” as author.
• The police highlighted financial movements including about $365,000 transferred to Michelle Bolsonaro and cited messages tying Eduardo Bolsonaro to U.S. lobbying as evidence supporting obstruction allegations.
• Bolsonaro remains under house arrest with an ankle monitor and a social‑media ban, and the Supreme Court has ordered his defense to respond within 48 hours about alleged breaches and flight risk.
• Authorities say it is unclear whether the asylum request was ever submitted to Argentina, and trial sessions are scheduled for September 2–12, with potential penalties reaching decades in prison.
