Overview

• The Federal Police launched the administrative case last week, and the proceeding is being handled under secrecy.
• Investigators are examining reports that Eduardo Bolsonaro advocated in the United States for sanctions on Brazilian authorities and tariffs affecting Brazil.
• The case stems from a July representation filed by deputy Guilherme Boulos, who argued the conduct violates public-service rules.
• Possible penalties range from reprimand to dismissal, and this is the second disciplinary process against him this year after an earlier case over alleged threats to delegate Fabio Shor.
• The disciplinary action unfolds as the PF’s August indictment named Eduardo and Jair Bolsonaro for alleged coercion in the coup case and as STF inquiries into related offenses continue.
