Brazilian Supreme Court Intensifies Persecution of Former President Bolsonaro and Officials
The Brazilian Supreme Court has intensified its persecution of former President Jair Bolsonaro and his government officials, seizing Bolsonaro's passport and raiding the homes of his close aides. The court alleges their involvement in a 'coup attempt' during protests in January 2022, which Bolsonaro and his allies deny. The investigation centers on claims of election fraud and a protest that the court sees as a coup attempt. This escalating political storm in Brazil has drawn comparisons to the political turmoil in the United States.
