The son of the former president of Brazil was accused Jerr Bolsonaro of coercion

The chief prosecutor in Brazil was accused of former President Gere Bolsonaro of coercion, according to an official statement on Monday.

Prosecutor’s office, Eduardo Bolsonaro, a member of Congress, has repeatedly claimed to shatt the republic’s interests on personal and family business schedules, and Brazil was subjected to the threat of penalties from foreign governments.

Congress member described these accusations as “false” in a social media post, saying that he was “ridiculous” for accusing him of obstructing justice.

The last step comes after weeks of sentences to the former president, who sentenced Brazil from January 2019 to December 2022, to 27 years in prison after being convicted of planning a coup.

Eduardo Bolsonaro, who resides in the United States, claimed that he had received news about the charges through the press, and highlighted the timing of the declaration “continuous political persecution.”

In addition to conviction, prosecutors will also seek to “compensate for the damages resulting from criminal procedures.”

Businessman Paulo Viguerido, a former dictator’s grandson Joao Batista Fiorido, has also been named.

Eduardo Bolsonaro moved to the United States earlier this year, and BBC told that he was living in “exile” for fear of arrest if he returned to Brazil.

He publicly pressed his father from the Trump administration, who was the case against the former Brazilian President with a “charming chase.”

US President Donald Trump, who sees Bolsonaro an ally, imposed a 50 % tariff on Brazil in July, a step called by the current Brazilian President Luiz Inosio Lula da Silva “not only misleading but illogical.”

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio pledged more measures to pressure Brazil for the condemnation of the former president, and on Monday he declared penalties for the wife of the Supreme Court judge in Brazil Alexander de Mora, who headed the former president’s trial.

Justice said that the sanctions against his wife were “illegal and influential.”

Jair Bolsonaro was convicted of planning a coup earlier this month and sentenced to 27 years in prison.

Tens of thousands of Brazilians joined protests in cities throughout the country on Sunday To protest a draft law that can lead to amnesty for the former president.

According to the proposal, members of Congress will have to give their approval – in a secret polling – before the charge is charged or arrested.

Critics called it the “Banditry Bill”, but members of the Congress who supported it said it was necessary to protect them from what they said was “a judicial transcendence.”

The President Lula wrote on X: “I stand with the Brazilian people. The demonstrations show today that the residents do not want to escape punishment or pardon.”

He also pledged to arrest the draft law of Amnesty, if approved by the Senate.
