Brazil ex-president Jair Bolsonaro's son charged with coercion1 day ago Share Save Tabby Wilson Share SaveGetty ImagesBrazil's chief prosecutor has charged the son of former President Jair Bolsonaro with coercion, according to an official statement on Monday. The attorney general's office has alleged Eduardo Bolsonaro, a congressman, repeatedly acted to subject the interests of the republic to personal and family agendas, subjecting Brazil to threats of sanctions from foreign governments. The congressman called these charges "bogus" in a post on social media X, saying it was "absurd" to accuse him of obstruction of justice.

The justice said the sanctions against his wife were "illegal and regrettable".
