Carlos Bolsonaro, Son of Brazil's Ex-President, Targeted in Illegal Spying Probe

Investigation alleges Brazilian Intelligence Agency was used to illegally track political opponents during Jair Bolsonaro's presidency.

Brazilian police have raided properties linked to Carlos Bolsonaro, son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, as part of an investigation into allegations of illegal spying on political opponents during his father's presidency.
The investigation alleges that the Brazilian Intelligence Agency (Abin) was used to illegally track the geolocation data of hundreds of Bolsonaro's perceived opponents during his presidency (2019-2022).
The alleged illegal surveillance targeted key political and judicial figures, including three Supreme Court justices and a speaker of Brazil's lower house of Congress.
The investigation has moved closer to the former president, with police arriving at a beach house where Jair Bolsonaro was staying with his sons.
This probe adds to the legal problems of Jair Bolsonaro, who has been banned from running for office for eight years after casting unfounded doubts on Brazil's electronic voting system.
