Bolsonaro Testifies in Inquiry into Son's US Actions

Brazilian Federal Police investigation into former President Jair Bolsonaro's son, Eduardo Bolsonaro, continues to unfold. On June 5th, 2025, Bolsonaro himself gave testimony, facing questions about his son's alleged attempts to secure US sanctions against members of the Brazilian Supreme Court (STF) and other officials. The Attorney General's Office (PGR) claims Eduardo's actions aimed to obstruct the trial against his father, who is accused of involvement in a coup attempt. Commentator Felippe Monteiro, appearing on Jovem Pan News, stated that the investigation "reinforces the narrative that the STF is being partial in the case." The investigation highlights the ongoing political tensions in Brazil and the international implications of domestic political disputes. The testimony marks a significant development in the ongoing investigation and raises questions about the potential influence of foreign actors in Brazilian politics.
